蛙

ja-noun

蛙(かえる) or 蛙(カエル) • (kaeru) ^(←かへる (kaferu)?)

蛙 (canonical)
蛙 (canonical)

→ Pohnpeian: kairu

Frog
Man'yōshū
Muromachi period
Nihon Kokugo Daijiten
Nihon Shoki
Nippo Jisho
ja:カエル
蛙

*⟨kape₁ru⟩ → /kaperu/ → /kaferu/ → /kaweru/ → /kajeru/ → /kaeru/
From Old Japanese.
The Nihon Kokugo Daijiten cites this to the Nihon Shoki of 720, however, that may only be traceable to supplemental glosses added later to the kanbun original.
Spelled phonetically once in the Man'yōshū, completed some time after 759 CE, where it is used phonetically to spell the name of the maple tree, 楓 (kape₁rute > kaede). Generally regarded as the informal or everyday term for frog, in contrast to the formal or poetic term kawazu (see below).
The ultimate derivation is unclear, with numerous theories. Some of the leading ideas include:
* Cognate with 帰る (kaeru, “to return (to a point of origin)”), from the way that some species of frogs return to their birthplace to spawn
* Cognate with 孵る (kaeru, “to hatch (from an egg)”), in reference to tadpoles
* Derived from onomatopoeia, where kape originally referred to the frog's call, suffixed uncertain element -ru
The phonetic development went through a clear stage where the middle mora was pronounced /je/, as illustrated in the 1603 Nippo Jisho entry, spelled cayeru. This was likely a result of the Muromachi period sound shift, where /we/ shifted to /je/, followed later by /je/ merging into /e/ to produce modern /kaeru/.
Now the most common term for frog.


蛙

蛙 (canonical)
kawazu (romanization)
kafadu (romanization)
かはづ (hiragana historical)

⟨kapadu⟩ → */kapadu/ → /kafad͡zu/ → /kawad͡zu/ → /kawazu/
The more formal or poetic counterpart to kaeru (see above). Found in the Man'yōshū, completed some time after 759 CE.
The ultimate derivation is unclear, but the initial kawa portion (ancient kapa) is very likely 川, 河 (kawa, ancient kapa, “river”).
The phonetic development of the term had already progressed to kawadzu by 1603, as seen in the Nippo Jisho entry, spelled cauazzu.

Likely merging with Old French froiz, froie (“spawn, spawning”), from froier, freier (“to spawn”), from Latin fricō (“to rub”).

paddock

paddocks (plural)
padock (alternative)
puddock (alternative)

From Middle English paddok, paddoke (“frog; toad”) [and other forms], from pad, pade (“frog; toad”) + -ok (diminutive suffix). Pad, pade is derived from Old English *pada, *padda, padde, from Proto-West Germanic *paddā, from Proto-Germanic *paddǭ (“toad”); further etymology uncertain, possibly ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰew- (“to swell”). The English word is analysable as pad (“(Britain, dialectal) frog; toad”) + -ock (suffix forming nouns, originally with diminutive senses).
Sense 2 (“sledge”) is probably from the supposed resemblance of the object to a frog or toad.

suffix

Where I was wont to ſeeke the honey Bee, / Working her formall rowmes in Wexen frame: / The grieſlie Todeſtoole growne there mought I ſe / And loathed Paddocks lording on the ſame.

From Proto-Semitic *ṣ́Vpardiʕ-. Cognate to Hebrew צְפַרְדֵּעַ (tz'fardéa), Aramaic עֻרְדְּעָנָא (ˁurdəˁānā), Classical Syriac ܐܘܪ̈ܕܥܐ (ˀurdˁā), and Ugaritic 𐎑𐎗𐎄𐎓 (ẓrdʿ). The senses of hunger and gas are onomatopoeic in origin, by comparison of croaking and ribbiting, to a stomach rumbling with hunger and to audible gas noises.

We caused to be sent upon them destruction abounding, locusts, lice, frogs, and the blood, as signs of proof discernibly clear, but they had considered themselves of greater importance and had been a people who caused wrongdoing to be encouraged.

platanna

[…]leading medical pathologist, Dr Louis P. Bosman, became so concerned at the depletion of the local platanna population that he petitioned the Provincial Administration to introduce protective legislation and to investigate the possibility of the artificial culture of these animals at the Jonkershoek Hatchery.[…]For many years scientists observed that there was only one species of platanna, Xenopus laevis. Dr Walter Rose, who devoted many years of study to the amphibians of the Western Cape, had questioned this, and had eventually became convinced that there was another species, similar in appearance, but smaller, shyer and less aggressive. This he named X. gilli after Dr L. Gill, director of the South African Museum.

1977, Douglas Hey, Water: Source of Life, Oxford University Press, pages 109–110:

Some frogs, like the Platanna (Xenopus laevis), are wholly aquatic, living, feeding and breeding under water.

1990, Louis Liebenberg, A Field Guide to the Animal Tracks of Southern Africa, David Philip Publishers, page 81:

Platannas are found almost permanently in water and can remain submerged for hours without needing to surface.

Upon the sweet bubbling pool might lie,
And sun myself to-day
With you! No curtained bride, I ween,
Nor pillowed babe, nor cushioned queen,
Nor tiny fay on emerald green,
Nor silken lady gray,
Lies on a softer couch. O Heaven!

olm

O is for Olm. The Olm has teeny-weeny legs. Its eyes are covered with skin and it can barely see. Olms live in caves where there is hardly any light.

1990, Jerry Pallotta, The Frog Alphabet Book, unnumbered page:

A fully grown olm is around 30 cm with a sinuous body and long tail. There are two pairs of stumpy legs and three pairs of feathery gills behind the head. In its natural environment, the olm is pink with semitranslucent skin.

2007, Ross Piper, Extraordinary Animals: An Encyclopedia of Curious and Unusual Animals, page 266:

Also known as the proteus, the olm is a blind amphibian found only in the underwater caves of southern Europe, specifically parts of Italy, Croatia, and Slovenia.

2012, Michael Hearst, Unusual Creatures, page 74:

Olms have special sensors inside their ears that detect sound waves in the water as well as vibrations from the ground.

2012, Ana Maria Rodriguez, Vampire Bats, Giant Insects, and Other Mysterious Animals of the Darkest Caves, page 32:

Proteus anguinus, a cave-dwelling neotenous salamander with external gills, found along the coast from northeastern Italy to Montenegro.

girino

Learned borrowing from Latin gyrīnus, from Ancient Greek γυρῖνος (gurînos).


두꺼비

Usually believed to be equivalent to 두껍— (dukkeop-, “to be thick”) + 이 (-i, noun suffix), referring to the toad's thick skin.
First attested in the Hyang'yak gugeupbang (鄕藥救急方 / 향약구급방), 1236, as Late Old Korean 豆何非 (Yale: *twuhapi). In the hangul script, first attested in the Hunminjeong'eum haerye (訓民正音解例 / 훈민정음해례), 1446, as Middle Korean 두텁 (Yale: twùthèp), corresponding to Middle Korean 두텁〯다〮 (twuthěptá, “to be thick”). Also attested in the Saseong tonghae (四聲通解 / 사성통해), 1517, as Middle Korean 둗거비〮 (Yale: twùtkèpí), which is the first attestation of a form directly ancestral to the modern.
The ancestral form for the adjectival root “to be thick” *twut.hep ~ twut.kep shows the variation *h ~ k, as shown in many other words. The former gave rise to the Middle Korean words 두텁 (twùthèp), 두텁〯다〮 (twùthěptá), while the latter produced the modern standard form 두껍다 (dukkeopda) with loss of the initial consonant in the cluster t.k.
Alexander Vovin alternatively reconstructs original *kitpe on the strength of the twelfth-century Chinese–Korean wordlist Jilin leishi, which glosses a Korean word transcribed 虼鋪 /虼铺 (*kʰit pʰuə̌) as 蟇 (“toad”), and connects this to Tungusic. The *twu- would then be a prefix. This etymology has issues with explaining the twutkep form, however, and Korean scholars have generally not accepted it.

pode
