An example of what I'm saying would be this.

- 1000 is Sen

- 2000 is Ni Sen

- 3000 is San Zen, not San Sen

the variation will be used in an appropriate context.

Another example would be compound words.

- Shini/Shine means die

- Kami means god

- But you don't ever see a death god being called a Shinikami, its usually referred to as a Shinigami.

Variations actually share the same written 'character' for hiragana/katakana, but at the top right corner of the written character, there's a small 'symbol' which signifies what the pronounciation is.
