jisho HO - is a fire starting ?
As fine a kanji tool as jisho.org is, it does have subtle flaws. Take
火
カ / ひ· -び· ほ-
\u706B
Henshall 8
火星 かせい Mars (planet)
火 ひ fire; flame; blaze
口火 くちび fuse; spark plug; cause (of war); origin (of a quarrel)
BUT - no common word begins ほ- and has a kanji that starts with FIRE.
And some few uncommon words ( e.g., for tongs (i.e., the tool) ) begin KO !
It is enough to KAuse you Hee-Bee-JI-bee's ... or did I miss one in the 15 pages of 377 words beginning with ほ ? But I only want to see jukugo !
So there is a place for smart app's that use kanjidic2 or jmdict ...
