Graphically cognate to 母 (mǔ, “mother”), which has developed similarly, but also includes dots for nipples and has retained both breasts. Compare Egyptian 𓁐.

女 |
おみな Grade: 1 |
kun'yomi |
⟨womi1na⟩ → */womʲina/ → /omina/
From Old Japanese.[4]
The initial /wo/ expressed "small, youth" and contrasted with /o/ "grown, old" (as in 嫗 (omina, “old woman”)), while the medial /mi/ is cognate with 女 (me, “female, woman”, see below). According to Frellesvig (2010), proto-Japonic /e/ became Old Japanese [je] in final position and [i] elsewhere; analogous with PJ /o/, which became OJ [wo] in final position and [u] elsewhere (though PJ /i/ and /u/ also existed, compare Old Japanese 火's two readings /po/ & /pu/ in Western & Eastern Old Japanese, respectively (Vovin, 2017)).
Pronunciation
[edit]- (Tokyo) おみな [òmíná] (Heiban – [0])[3][5]
- (Tokyo) おみな [óꜜmìnà] (Atamadaka – [1])[3][5]
- IPA(key): [o̞mʲina̠]
