Proto-Ryukyuan
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Japonic *ikari (“anchor”).
Noun
[edit]*ikari
Reconstruction notes
[edit]The Yonaguni term for "anchor" is アンカ (anka), from Japanese アンカー (ankā) and ultimately from English anchor, also appearing in Ishigaki Yaeyama アンカー (ankā). Miyako lost its reflex of *ikari for some reason.
