Kanji in this term
鶴
たず
Grade: S
kun'yomi

From Old Japanese.[1][2] By one analysis, this may be a compound of 田 ‎(ta, “rice paddy”, a common place where cranes can be found) +‎ つ ‎(tsu, “crane? large bird?”). The tsu changes to dzu, modern zu as an instance of rendaku (連濁). This tsu is probably the tsu in tsuru (see below).

Pronunciation[edit]

Alternative forms[edit]

Noun[edit]

鶴 ‎(hiragana たず, romaji tazu, historical hiragana たづ)

  1. (archaic, poetic) a crane: a large, long-legged and long-necked bird, member of the family or clade Gruidae
    • c. 759, Man'yōshū (book 7, poem 1199); text here
      藻苅舟 奥榜来良之 妹之嶋 形見之浦尓 鶴翔所見
      もかりふね おきこぎくらし いもがしま かたみのうらに たづかけるみゆ
      Mo kari fune / oki kogi kurashi / Imogashima / Katami no ura ni / tazu kakeru miyu
      Rowing the seaweed-gathering boat out to sea and back again, I saw the cranes soaring by Katami inlet on Imogashima
Usage notes[edit]

This reading is now reserved for poetry.[1][2]

Etymology 2[edit]

Kanji in this term
鶴
つる
Grade: S
kun'yomi

Given a crane's long neck and how the bird hunts, possibly related to 蔓 ‎(tsuru, “vine”); 弦 ‎(tsuru, “bowstring; musical instrument string”); 釣る, 吊る ‎(tsuru, “to hang down; to string up; to fish”). Given how cranes flock together, possibly related also to 連る ‎(tsuru), older root form of modern verb 連れる ‎(tsureru, “to accompany”). That said, 連る also appears to ultimately derive from 蔓 ‎(tsuru, “vine”).

Likely Altaic cognates include Proto-Turkic *durunja ‎(“crane”) (whence Turkish turna), Korean 두루미 (durumi, “crane”), Mongolian тогоруу ‎(togoruu, “crane”)). Compare also Hungarian daru ‎(“crane”).

The reading tsuru is first seen used to mean a crane ‎(the bird) from the late Heian period. Prior to that time, the only reading used for the bird was tazu. However, the kanji 鶴 was used in the Man'yōshū as a phonetic ateji for the verb ending -tsuru, suggesting that tsuru may have already existed as an everyday term meaning a crane.[1]

Pronunciation[edit]

Noun[edit]

鶴 ‎(hiragana つる, katakana ツル, romaji tsuru)

  3. short for 鶴嘴 (​tsuruhashi): a pickaxe
  4. a 家紋 ‎(kamon, “family crest”) depicting a crane
  5. (euphemistic) white hair

As with many words that name organisms, this word is often written in katakana when used in biology contexts.
