/tani/ → /dani/
From Old Japanese. Shift from earlier reading tani.[1][2] This reading persists in some modern dialects.
The kanji spelling is jukujikun (熟字訓), from Chinese 壁蝨 / 壁虱 (bìshī). The characters literally mean 壁 (“wall”) + 蝨 (“louse”), as an indication that ticks and mites may be found on walls.

- (derogatory, figurative) a parasite, a layabout, a moocher: someone who lives off other people
