  1. a female given name
  2. Lua error in Module:names at line 629: dot= and nodot= are no longer supported in Template:surname because a trailing period is no longer added by default; if you want it, add it explicitly after the template

Etymology 2

Kanji in this term
よね
Grade: 2
kun'yomi

⟨yo2nai⟩ → */jənai/ → */jəne//jone/

First attested in the Wamyō Ruijushō (938 CE).

Possibly from Proto-Japonic *jənaC- (Vovin, 1998)[2] and related to (ine, rice plant).

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

Compare (awi → ai, indigo) from (awo → ao, blue) + (i, emphatic nominative particle)[3] against 白い /siroi/ from ⟨siro1ki1.[4]

The colloquial sense is derived from the components of the kanji: (hachi, eight) + (, ten) + (hachi, eight).

Noun

(よね) (yone

  1. the Asian rice plant, Oryza sativa
    Synonym: (ine)
  2. rice (husked grains of the Asian rice plant, Oryza sativa)
  3. (colloquial) an eighty-eight-year-old
    Synonym: 米寿 (beiju)
