context_page_description: や, in hiragana or ヤ in katakana, is one of the Japanese kana, each of which represents one mora. The hiragana is written in three strokes, while the katakana is written in two. Both represent. Their shapes have origins in the character 也.
  When small and preceded by an -i kana, this kana represents not a separate sound but a modification of that of another.
  や can be used by itself as a grammatical particle to connect words in a nonexhaustive list.
