Reconstruction:Proto-Japonic/umaNka
Appearance
This Proto-Japonic entry contains reconstructed terms and roots. As such, the term(s) in this entry are not directly attested, but are hypothesized to have existed based on comparative evidence. |
A user suggests that this Proto-Japonic reconstruction entry be cleaned up, giving the reason: “What is this reconstruction based on? Japanese sources consistently trace this to uma (unexplained, likely from 産む (umu, “to bear, to birth”)) + ko "child". What possible mechanism could explain the required shift from -ga to -go for Japanese? And what does the initial capital "M" indicate? This is strange notation.” | |
