Compound of 澪 (mio, “water channel”) + つ (tsu, Old Japanese possessive particle) + 串 (kushi, “skewer”).[1]
Also encountered with the reading miozukushi. The tsukushi changes to zukushi as an instance of rendaku (連濁).
Notably, different publishers of the same historical texts appear to alternate between the miotsukushi and miojirushi readings, possibly due to historical or dialectal differences.

Usage notes[edit]
- At the time of the Man'yōshū, the "dolphin" sense referred to those at Tōtōmi Province; during the Heian period the sense was reserved to the markers at the bay of Naniwa, present-day Osaka.
- Since the Heian period, the "dolphin" sense can be used as a 掛詞 (kakekotoba) to pun against the sense of 身を尽くし (mi o tsukushi, literally “exhausting one's body” → “with all one's might, with all one's heart and soul”):
- c. 951–953, Gosen Wakashū (book 13, poem 860; also Hyakunin Isshu, poem 20)

- wabinureba ima hata onaji Naniwa naru mi o tsukushite mo awan to zo omou
- Miserable, now, it is all the same. Channel-markers at Naniwa―even if it costs my life, I will see you again![4]
