NARA ...
and why Japanese needs Kanji!
While it is possible to most if not all Jpanese words with Kana many of them are written with Kanji or a combination of Kanji and Kana especially verbs.
But the complexity of Jpanese verb endings is probably not the only or main reason Japanese needs a amixture of Kana and Kanji.
Consider the large number of SYNONYMS.
Nara is a good example!
(Ko) NARA is
1) the name of a kind of Oak Quercus Serrata
written with 3 different Kanji!
2) another form of naraba ... if ... in that case ... conditional marker
3) A City near Kyoto
4) the radical of several verbs Naraberu narabini narabu
narasu naru narau
and that selection is a summary of more common forms!
No wonder the Japanese use Kanji!
