Etymology

[edit]

Compound of (ma, true, real) +‎ (ho, outstanding).[1][2]

First attested in the late 900s.[1]

Various modern dictionaries omit this term.[3][4] Some include it, but do not indicate any pitch accent, and mark it as a -nari adjective, using the classical conjugation pattern.[2] This often indicates that the term has fallen out of use.
