ゆたさん

Okinawan

Alternative forms

• 宜(ゆた)さん (yutasan) (semantic)
• ゆたしゃん (yutashan) (literary)

Etymology

Analyzable as cognate with Japanese 豊か, 饒か, 裕か (yutaka, “abundant, wealthy; relaxed”).

One, however, proposes cognancy with Japanese 宜しい (yoroshii, “good”), however the phonetic shift is unexplainable.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /ˈjutasaŋ/, /ˈjutaʃaŋ/

Adjective

ゆたさん (yutasan) 

1. 宜さん: good
