Etymology[edit]
Apparently a jukujikun (熟字訓) spelling from 大 (dai, “big”); contrast with the antonym, 兄鷹 (shō), ostensibly from 小 (shō, “small”). The kanji used are 弟 (“younger brother”) + 鷹 (“hawk, northern goshawk”). (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?)
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
- female hawk
- specifically, a female of the northern goshawk
