Editing Mount Fuji (section)

=== Variations ===
In English, the mountain is known as Mount Fuji. Some sources refer to it as "Fuji-san", "Fujiyama" or, redundantly, "Mt. Fujiyama". Japanese speakers refer to the mountain as "Fuji-san". This "san" is not the [[-san|honorific suffix]] used with people's names, such as Watanabe-san, but the [[On reading|Sino-Japanese reading]] of the character {{nihongo||山|yama|"mountain"}} used in [[Sino-Japanese vocabulary|Sino-Japanese]] compounds. In [[Nihon-shiki romanization|Nihon-shiki]] and [[Kunrei-shiki romanization]], the name is transliterated as ''Huzi''.

Other Japanese names which have become obsolete or poetic include {{nihongo||ふじの山|Fuji-no-Yama|"the Mountain of Fuji"}}, {{nihongo||ふじの高嶺|Fuji-no-Takane|"the High Peak of Fuji"}}, {{nihongo||芙蓉峰|Fuyō-hō|"the Lotus Peak"}}, and {{nihongo||富岳／富嶽|Fugaku}}, created by combining the first character of {{lang|ja|富士}}, ''Fuji'', and {{lang|ja|岳}}, ''mountain''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://dic.yahoo.co.jp/dsearch?p=%E3%83%95%E3%82%B8%E3%82%B5%E3%83%B3&enc=UTF-8&stype=0&dtype=0 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110722101305/http://dic.yahoo.co.jp/dsearch?p=%E3%83%95%E3%82%B8%E3%82%B5%E3%83%B3&enc=UTF-8&stype=0&dtype=0 |url-status=dead |archive-date=2011-07-22 |title=Fuji-san |publisher=Daijisen |language=ja}}</ref>
