Noun

IPA: [ta̠ka̠ma̠ ɡa̠ ha̠ɾa̠] Forms: 高天原 [canonical] (ruby: 高天原(たかまがはら)), takama ga hara [romanization]
Etymology: From Old Japanese. Compound of 高 (taka, “high”) + 天 (ama, “heaven”) + が (ga, archaic attributive or possessive particle) + 原 (hara, “plain”), with the final -a of taka dropped due haplology. Because there is no additional kanji (such as 之 or 乃) attested in the compound to demonstrate a particle, both が (ga) and の (no) are interchangeable.
