Adjective [Japanese]

IPA: [kʲibʲiɕii]
Etymology: Originally from regular classical adjective 厳し (kibishi, “tight, close, without gaps”), first cited to roughly 830. This earlier form later shifted conjugation patterns, from the so-called "-ku adjective" to the "-shiku adjective" pattern. The two conjugation types appear to have been in broadly free variation, with both forms developing the strict; severe senses in parallel. Historically, while there was some overlap, there does appear to be a sense distinction in Classical Japanese texts, wherein the older "-ku adjective" form was used more commonly to express the more objective qualities of "tight, close", while the "-shiku adjective" was used more commonly to express the more subjective qualities of "severe; harsh". The "-shiku adjective" pattern is first cited from the late 900s.

The two conjugation types appear to have been in broadly free variation, with both forms developing the strict; severe senses in parallel. Historically, while there was some overlap, there does appear to be a sense distinction in Classical Japanese texts, wherein the older \"-ku adjective\" form was used more commonly to express the more objective qualities of \"tight, close\", while the \"-shiku adjective\" was used more commonly to express the more subjective qualities of \"severe; harsh\".\nThe \"-shiku adjective\" pattern is first cited from the late 900s.",
