Readings [edit]
Etymology [edit]
Unclear. Possibly alteration of Old Japanese 浮かむ (ukamu, “to float”). Alternately, may derive from Middle Chinese 雁 (/ngænH/, “a type of wild goose”), borrowed with the kan'on reading gan, with initial g changing to k due to the avoidance of voiced stops at the start of Japanese words, and final n changing to mu due to final n being written with the spelling of mu in Old Japanese (itself either due to orthographic convention, or due to lack of final n in Old Japanese).
Pronunciation [edit]
