神代文字 (kyūjitai) |
Likely a shift from jindai moji, adopting the kun'yomi of kamiyo for the first portion.
Also analyzable as a compound of 神代 (kamiyo, “the age of the gods, a mythological age before the reign of Emperor Jimmu”) + 文字 (moji, “character, writing”).
Date of first appearance is unclear. This reading is unusual, and usage might be regional; it is not included in many references.[1][2][3][4][5]
