Noun [Japanese]

IPA: [kõ̞mbɯ̟ᵝ] Forms: 昆布 [canonical] (ruby: (こん), ()), 昆布 [canonical] (ruby: 昆布(コンブ)), konbu [romanization]
Etymology: First cited to a record in the Shoku Nihongi, written 715 CE. Theories include: * From Middle Chinese 昆布 (MC kwon puH, “seaweed, kelp”). * From Ainu, possibly via Ainu コムブ (kombu, “a brown seaweed, Laminaria”), which may also be borrowed from Middle Chinese 昆布 (MC kwon puH, “seaweed, kelp”). The early date of first citation, and the existence already in 715 of the kanji spelling 昆布, seems to make a Chinese derivation more likely. See the Wikipedia article about kombu for additional etymology details. Cognates among the Ryukyuan languages include Kunigami 昆布 (kubū), Okinawan 昆布 (kūbu), Southern Amami-Oshima 昆布 (kubu), Miyako 昆布 (kubu), and Yaeyama 昆布 (kubu).

  "etymology_text": "First cited to a record in the Shoku Nihongi, written 715 CE.\nTheories include:\n* From Middle Chinese 昆布 (MC kwon puH, “seaweed, kelp”).\n* From Ainu, possibly via Ainu コムブ (kombu, “a brown seaweed, Laminaria”), which may also be borrowed from Middle Chinese 昆布 (MC kwon puH, “seaweed, kelp”).\nThe early date of first citation, and the existence already in 715 of the kanji spelling 昆布, seems to make a Chinese derivation more likely. See the Wikipedia article about kombu for additional etymology details.\nCognates among the Ryukyuan languages include Kunigami 昆布 (kubū), Okinawan 昆布 (kūbu), Southern Amami-Oshima 昆布 (kubu), Miyako 昆布 (kubu), and Yaeyama 昆布 (kubu).",

  "etymology_text": "First cited to a record in the Shoku Nihongi, written 715 CE.\nTheories include:\n* From Middle Chinese 昆布 (MC kwon puH, “seaweed, kelp”).\n* From Ainu, possibly via Ainu コムブ (kombu, “a brown seaweed, Laminaria”), which may also be borrowed from Middle Chinese 昆布 (MC kwon puH, “seaweed, kelp”).\nThe early date of first citation, and the existence already in 715 of the kanji spelling 昆布, seems to make a Chinese derivation more likely. See the Wikipedia article about kombu for additional etymology details.\nCognates among the Ryukyuan languages include Kunigami 昆布 (kubū), Okinawan 昆布 (kūbu), Southern Amami-Oshima 昆布 (kubu), Miyako 昆布 (kubu), and Yaeyama 昆布 (kubu).",
