Noun

IPA: [ho̞ː] Forms: [canonical] (ruby: (ほう)), [romanization], fafu [romanization], はふ [hiragana, historical]
Etymology: From Middle Chinese 法 (MC pjop). Originally, the kan'on was はふ (fafu), and the goon was ほふ (fofu), although both became ほう (hō) in modern Japanese. It is suggested that the kan'on was used in the general senses, while the goon was used in Buddhist contexts.
