I've been playing some しりとり recently at http://www.shiritori.org/ and was wondering why no words with を show up.
siritori.net suggests there are quite a few nouns starting with を:
を をかし をことてん をつうじ をつうじて をつうじまして をとおして をとおしまして をの をひてかわ をめぐって をめぐりまして をめぐります をめぐる をもちまして をもって をろがま をろがみ をろがみゃ をろがむ をろがめ をろがも をろがん ををがけ をんなひゃくにんいっしゅ
With the exception of maybe を at the beginning of the list, apparently these are all playable nouns in shiritori. There is also a list of words ending with を here: http://siritori.net/tail/%E3%82%92 .
In contrast, jisho.org gives one noun starting with を (ヲタ, and even then, it's an abbrieviation of ヲタク or オタク) and no nouns ending in を.
In a shiritori game with a normal person, or even at competitive shiritori, does を show up? Are the を words at siritori.net too obscure to be valid?
(Feel free to add the classical-japanese tag if it's appropriate; I'm not sure if this counts.)
