羊
ひつじ
Grade: 3
kun'yomi

⟨pi1tuzi⟩ → */pʲituzi/ → /ɸituzi/ → /çitsudʑi/

From Old Japanese.[1] Further derivation unknown. Theories include:

  • From 日 (hi, “sun”) +‎ 辻 (tsuji, “crossroads”), as the sun begins to set around the hour of the Sheep according to traditional Chinese timekeeping.
  • Alteration from 髭 (hige, “facial hair”) +‎ つ (tsu, Old Japanese possessive particle) +‎ 牛 (ushi, “cattle”).
  • Alteration from 人 (hito, “person”) +‎ 牛 (ushi, “cattle”), literally “people’s cattle”.
  • Alteration from 養す (hitasu, “to raise (cattle)”) +‎ 獣 (shishi, “a beast used for its meat”) or 養し (hitashi, the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “stem or continuative form”) of 養す) +‎ 牛 (ushi, “cattle”). If true, would parallel the supposed development of やぎ (yagi) from 野牛 (yagyū, “wild cattle”), referring to the relative ease of domestication of sheep.[2]
