The ISBN is 0-671-55159-0. That's the closest I can get without a trip to the library (since the dictionary doesn't specifically mention use of the small 'tsu'.) Besides, remember that WJohnson claimed that he was not specifically saying I have no source that's reliable by the Wikipedia definition, but rather that I had no source of any type. But this is an excellent example of filibustering via insincere request for sources. Sources should be requested when you really doubt that the source exists. They should not be requested when you have no doubts, but you want to exhaust the other guy's patience in the hope that he'll go away. Unfortunately, that's how the request for sources is often used. I could easily do the same thing for a statement that the number of vowels in "apple" is a prime number. "Give me a source stating that 2 is prime. Okay, now give me a source showing how you count numbers, since I'm not going to take your word that "1, 2" is the correct way to count. Now give a source stating that 'a' is a vowel and remember you can't use Wikipedia or an encyclopedia or any web pages created by non-experts."
