Noun [Japanese]

IPA: [tẽ̞ŋɡã̠ɴ] Forms: 天眼 [canonical] (ruby: (てん), (がん)), tengan [romanization]
Etymology: The literal eye sense and sight sense are likely a coinage within Japanese based on Middle Chinese-derived elements 天 (ten, “heaven, heavenly”, also used in reference to the emperor) + 眼 (gan, “eye”). The Buddhist sense is likely a sound shift from tengen above, adopting the kan'on reading of gan for the 眼 character.
