Verb [Japanese]

IPA: [mo̞e̞ɾɯ̟]
Etymology: /moju/ → /mojeru/ → /moeru/ From classical 下二段活用 (shimo nidan katsuyō, “lower bigrade conjugation”) verb 萌ゆ (moyu). Derived from the 未然形 (mizenkei, “incomplete or irrealis form”) and 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “stem or continuative form”) 萌え (moe, likely parsed as moye) + る (-ru, verb suffix), thereby shifting to 下一段活用 (shimo ichidan katsuyō, “lower monograde conjugation”). Possibly cognate with 燃える (moeru, “to burn, be passionate, light ablaze”).
