Yaeyama

Etymology

According to Miyagi (2003:967), derived from a Chinese source 靴 (xuē). Compare Xiang reading xya1 ~ xye1.

Alternatively, according to Miyanaga (1930:index p. 95), it is derived from the same source as Japanese 火屋 (hoya, “fireplace”), via "fire" + "building", but this is problematic on semantic grounds.

The Hateruma and Kabira forms are inherited from Proto-Ryukyuan *kutu, from Proto-Japonic *kutu.

Pronunciation

• (Aragusuku) IPA^(key): [fuja]
• (Hateruma) IPA^(key): [ɸu̥t͡ɕi] (tone class BC)
• (Ishigaki-Shika) IPA^(key): [ɸújà] (tone class A)
• (Kabira) IPA^(key): [ɸut͡sɨ]
• (Kohama) IPA^(key): [fuja]
• (Taketomi) IPA^(key): [ɸujə]

Noun

靴(ふや) or 靴(ふつぃ) (fuya or futsï) 

1. shoe, shoes
