"godzilla's son has eaten me!" by the way, "wha" is a an unusual spelling but intresting. The kana used to note this one is "ha", but in this particular gramatical function (topic marker) it is pronounced as "wa" So this "wha" spelling is quite intressting i think. Do you have a similar writing for "he" when it is pronounced "e" (gramatical function : destination marker)?
