Etymology

Japanese Wikipedia has an article on:
Wikipedia ja
Kanji in this term
とら
Grade: S
kun'yomi

From Old Japanese to1ra[1][2].

Pellard (2013:92) includes to1ra among words with o1 excepted from the /-o-/ to /-u-/ vowel-raising rule and not originating from earlier diphthongs. According to Vovin (2021:111), West Old Japanese *to1ra, instead of expected *tura, is "anomalous" and possibly "a case of a sporadic analogical development".[3]

Vovin (2013) asserts this word is same as a Silla place name 刀良 (*tora).[4]
