Etymology 1

Kanji in this term
稲
いね Grade: S
kun’yomi

Alternative spelling
稻 (kyūjitai)

⟨i₁nai⟩ → */jinai/ → */jine/ → /ine/

From Old Japanese.

Possibly from Proto-Japonic *jinaC- and related to 米 (yone, “husked rice”).

Unknown "-C-" consonantal segment, reconstructed by Vovin (1998), seems unlikely considering [a ~ e] vowel alternation:

Compare 藍 (awi → ai, “indigo”) from 青 (awo, “blue”) + い (i, emphatic nominative particle) against 白き (⟨siro₁ki₁⟩ → shiroki) → 白い (shiroi, “white”). .

Pronunciation

• (Tokyo) い​ね [íꜜnè] (Atamadaka – [1])
• IPA^(key): [ine̞]

Noun

1. the Asian rice plant, Oryza sativa
