Pictogram (象形) – a tree: branches on top, roots on the bottom (more visible in earlier forms).
Etymology[edit]
No known cognate exists. It can perhaps be compared with Proto-Karen *məŋᴮ (“trunk (of a tree); firewood”) (Starostin) or Proto-Lolo-Burmese *ʔmuk (“stump (of a tree)”) (Schuessler, 2007). Alexander Francis-Ratté notes a potential connection (in his view, via borrowing from Chinese) with Middle Korean 나모 (“tree”), from immediate pre-Middle Korean *나ᄆᆞᆨ (*nàmòk).
The common Sino-Tibetan root for “tree; wood” is *siŋ ~ sik, represented by 薪 (OC *siŋ, “firewood”).
Pronunciation[edit]

⟨ki2⟩ → */kɨ/ → /ki/
From Old Japanese 木 (ki2), from Proto-Japonic *kəy. Cognate with Proto-Ryukyuan *ke, whence Southern Amami-Oshima けぃー (kʰɨː), Okinawan きー (kiː), Kunigami きー (kʰiː), Miyako きー (kiː), Yaeyama きー (kiː) and Yonaguni きー (kʰiː).
Likely developed from fusion of older form 木 (ko, see below) + い (i, emphatic nominative particle), similar to the sound changes at work in 神 (kamu → kami, “Shinto deity”).[1]

- a tree or shrub
