In the last example, the name "Kumiko" has a large number of possible spellings in Japanese. Rather than list them all, an alternative is to refer in the etymology to the page listing them, and not include any source spellings in the definition line. In this case, the text changes to read a Japanese female given name instead of the Japanese female given name NAME.
