@Aced H “Ru” words are rare in Japanese—whoever masters them is a shiritori hero!🥳

That was unintentional Lol sorry ~ I can think of a few names with ru but no nouns either lol Pen are there any other than the very word pen 😬 I doubt there would be any non loanwords and google showed nothing 

 

After googling it I realized there are very few ru too so let me pick up at mawaru:
