Etymology[edit]
Compound of 招き (oki, “calling over, inviting over, bringing over”, the stem or continuative form of verb 招く (oku, “to call over, invite over, bring over”)) + 縄 (nawa, “rope, cord”). The verb oku has mostly fallen out of use in this sense, persisting in certain niche fields such as falconry.
One source[1] cites this to the Nippo Jisho of 1603, but the term apparently has no actual entry in the original work, but only appears in the Japanese translated version.[2] The next earliest cite is from the 禰津松鴎軒記 (Nezushō Ōkenki), sometime after the Muromachi period.
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
招縄 • (okinawa) ←をきなは (wokinafa)?

Voqinaua （ヲキナワ）
Wokinawa.
The next quotation from the Nezushō Ōkenki reads:をき縄の寸の事。はたひろ也
The sun [length] of an inviting cord [jess]. Also called 機尋 (hatahiro, “a yōkai arising from a cloth woven on a loom that transforms into a snake”) - ^ In Portuguese orthography of the time, the term would be spelled voqinava or voqinaua. This would come shortly below the voqimite entry highlighted here in the edition available via Google Books.
