BTW,
百野 【びゃくの】 Byakuno (s)
白夜 【びゃくや】 Byakuya (g)
白夜草 【びゃくやそう】 Byakuyasou (g)
白蓮 【びゃくれん】 Byakuren (g)
白蓮社 【びゃくれんしゃ】 Byakurensha (s)
Since those are at the front of a word, I think that those aren't just
the normal case of rendaku. Of course, it is a phenomenon that I haven't
ever grasped completely.
