Etymology
[edit]Compound of 送り (okuri, “sending”, the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “continuative or stem form”) of verb 送る (okuru, “to send”), from the sense of sending something afterward or adding something on the end) + 仮名 (kana, “kana”, the Japanese syllabary characters).[1][2][3] The kana changes to gana as an instance of rendaku (連濁).
First cited to a text from 1477.[1]
Pronunciation
[edit]Noun
[edit]- [1477] (orthography) okurigana (in the Japanese language, the kana which follow a stem written with kanji, which record how that stem is inflected, and guides recognition of the appropriate kun'yomi reading (word stem associated with the kanji); for example, く (ku) and かべる (kaberu) in 浮く (uk-u, “to float”, intransitive) and 浮かべる (uk-aberu, “to float”, transitive), or む (mu) and きる (kiru) in 生む (umu, “to birth”) and 生きる (ikiru, “to live”))
