Reconstruction:Proto-Japonic/nanpai

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.

Proto-Japonic

Etymology

In Japanese sources, explained as originally a compound of Old Japanese elements 肴 (na, “small snack, hors d'oeuvre”) + 瓮 (pe, “a pot or pan for holding food or beverages”).^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]

If this derivation is correct, the medial /-n-/ in the Proto-Japonic (which triggers the rendaku shift from /p/ to /b/) may be the reduced form of the genitive *nə.

nanpai = na + n[ə] + pai

Pronunciation

Accent class: 2.5a

Noun

*nanpai

pot
