Noun

IPA: [o̞to̞] Forms: [canonical] (ruby: (おと)), oto [romanization]
Etymology: Cognate with the initial oto- in 劣る (otoru, “to be less than; to be younger than”), 落とす (otosu, “to drop something”). Also the first element in 弟 (otōto, “younger brother”). First attested in the Kojiki of 712. This is distinct from the initial oto- in 乙女(おとめ) (otome), which can instead be traced to an earlier woto- root, cognate with 復(を)つ (wotu).
