新妻

Japanese

Japanese Wikipedia has an article on:

新妻

Compound of 新 (nī, “new”) +‎ 妻 (tsuma, “wife”).^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]

First cited to roughly 1500.^[1]

新(にい)妻(づま) • (nīzuma) ^{←にひづま (nifiduma)^?}

新(にい)妻(づま) • (Nīzuma) ^{←にひづま (Nifiduma)^?}

Probably a reanalysis of 新妻 (nīzuma), applying the expected on'yomi instead.

First cited to 1878.^[1]

新(しん)妻(さい) • (shinsai)

The nīzuma reading for this compound appears to be more common.
