Japanese

満	盈
Grade: 4	Hyōgai
irregular

Alternative spelling
滿盈 (kyūjitai)

Etymology

Gikun word derived by applying Chinese-derived spelling 満盈 (“filled to capacity”), a term which decomposes into 満 (“full”) + 盈 (“fill”), to native Japanese verb みつ (mitsu, “to fill”).

Verb

満盈 (みて)／滿盈 (みて) ^[1] (mite) → 満 (み)て (mite)

replenish (archaic word meaning fill)

※ Note: みて (mite) is the imperative form of みつ (mitsu, be filled). Two kanji with similar sense forming 満盈 (みて), mite, emphasizing the imperative (みてよ, miteyo) in Genesis 1:22;28.

※ See also 充牣 (みて) (mite). There are two gikun versions of みて (mite) in Genesis 1 emphasizing God's command that the earth be filled with plants and living creatures.
