Compounds [edit]
Etymology 1 [edit]
From Old Japanese. May be ultimately derived from onomatopoeia カンカン (kankan, “clang clang”), the sound of hitting metal. Compare Cantonese 金 (gam, “metal, gold”), Sanskrit कनक (kanaka, “gold, golden”), possibly suggesting a common onomatopoeic derivation.

Usage notes [edit]
In former times, silver was the basis for the Japanese economy. In modern Japanese, kane is more commonly spelled using the character for gold: 金. The money sense is more commonly prefixed with お (o-).
Etymology 2 [edit]
Compound of 白 (shiro, “white”) + 金 (kane, “metal”). Starting from the Muromachi Period, the kane changes to gane due to rendaku (連濁).
