	Rendaku - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The "voicing" is not a strict change from voiceless to voiced sounds, but rather the action of adding a dakuten to the first kana of the portion being altered.
		The most famous of the conditions affecting rendaku is known as Lyman's Law (although the phenomenon was originally discovered by Motoori Norinaga in the 18th century), which stated that rendaku does not occur if the second consonant of the second element is a voiced obstruent.
		Rendaku thus remains partially unpredictable, sometimes presenting a problem even to native speakers, particularly in Japanese names, where rendaku occurs or fails to occur often without obvious cause.

		The "voicing" follows the pattern of Japanese and is therefore not a strict change from voiceless to voiced sounds.
		If rendaku were strictly phonological in nature, its action should be both predictable and phonologically motivated.
		In many cases, an identically written name may either have or not have rendaku, depending on the person; e.g., 中田 may be read in a number of ways, including both Nakata and Nakada.

		Rendaku is a linguistic phenomenon in the Japanese language that affects the voicing of compounded morphemes.
		Rendaku would be expected to take place in the case described, but there are so many exceptions to the general rule that are unexplained that it is not possible to say for certain whether any given compound lexeme will show the effect of rendaku or not until it is heard in use in the language.
		Proponents of lexical rendaku (Ohno 2000) note that the number of those cases is extremely large and includes some that are utterly unpredictable in addition to the many classes of examples in which the absence of rendakuâ€™s effect can be predicted.

		In other words, if there is a voiced obstruent later in the word, rendaku is blocked, however if there is no such sound present, sometimes the initial consonant will be voiced and sometimes not.
		Thus the fact that both -tori and -dori are permissible pronunciations for attacks involving a hold.
		I believe that in these cases where rendaku is not blocked by the rule, whether to voice or not maybe sometimes be indicated lexically (i.e.

	E-Budo.com - phonetic tenten?
		The process you're talking about is called rendaku, in which an unvoiced sound (for example k, t, h) follows a strong sound, and is thus transformed to the stronger, voiced sound.
		Rendaku occurs when two words are joined to make a compound, but only if the second part of the compound doesn't already have a voiced sound.
		I should say that I'm only beginning to learn Japanese, and the only reason I can say anything about rendaku is that it was part of the general phonology course that I took (BTW, now I'm not too sure whether "r" should block rendaku or not).

	Ajigonomi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ajigonomi is a Japanese snack food consisting of various kinds of rice crackers and peanut based items together with tiny dried fish.

		Exceptions to Japanese rendaku voicing that are independent of Lyman's Law have usually been considered to be random and unsystematic.
		It is argued that only in long compounds is the morpheme boundary at the edge of a Prosodic Word, a prosodically strong position that more freely permits the marked [-sonorant, +voice] featural combination of rendaku voicing to occur.
		Les exceptions au voisement du rendaku en japonais qui ne dépendent pas de la Loi de Lyman sont généralement considérées comme étant aléatoires et non systématiques.
