⟨kuro1⟩ → /kuro/
From Old Japanese, from Proto-Japonic *kuro, first attested in the Kojiki (712 CE).
Via root morpheme *kur, cognates include:
- 涅 (kuri, “black mud from the bed of a body of water”)[1]
- 暗 (kura, “darkness; deception”), 蔵, 倉, 庫 (kura, “[dark] storehouse”), and 暗い (kurai, “dark”)
- classical verb 暮る (kuru), modern 暮れる (kureru, “to become dark; to near the end [of a day, of a year, of a life”), and 暗れる, 眩れる (kureru, “to become depressed, to become dreary of mood”)
Compare Proto-Turkic *kara (“black”), Mongolian хар (xar, “black”). Possibly also cognate with Korean 구름 (gureum, “cloud”); compare also Japanese 雲 (kumo, “cloud”) and Korean 검 (*geom, “black”), root morpheme of 검다 (geomda, “to be black”, verb), 검은 (geomeun, “black”, adjective). May be connected to Proto-Indo-European *kr̥snós (“black”) (whence Sanskrit कृष्ण (kṛṣṇá)), suggesting a Wanderwort in Asia, possibly from an Indo-Iranian language.
