Etymology 2

[edit]
Kanji in this term
斧
よき
Jinmeiyō
kun'yomi

Attested in the Shinsen Jikyō of circa 898–901 CE, with the man'yōgana spelling 与支.[4] Presumably from Proto-Japonic, but the first attestation in Japanese is too late to precisely reconstruct the vowels. Cognate with Proto-Ryukyuan *yoki.

Despite widespread regional attestations, the lack of pitch accent information in standard Japanese could imply that this word is not used in modern standard Japanese.

Pronunciation

[edit]
  • IPA(key): [jo̞kʲi]
  • (Toyama, Nagano, Gifu, Shizuoka, Aichi (Nagoya), Tottori, Shimane (Izumo), Okayama (Takamatsu)) よき [yòkí] (Heiban – [0])[5]
  • The dialects listed are Tokyo-type dialects. For more dialectal and accentual data, please consult the source.

Noun

[edit]

斧(よき) • (yoki) 

  1. (obsolete or dialectal) a hatchet
    1. (Ibaraki, Nagoya, Hyōgo, Shikoku, Kyūshū) a small hatchet
    2. (Yamanashi) a big hatchet
    3. (southern Tōhoku, Kantō, Chūbu, Kansai, Shikoku, Kyūshū) an axe, a hatchet (in general)
Usage notes
[edit]

This term apparently referred to a small type of hatchet. However, depending on the dialect, it can also refer to a larger type of hatchet.
