"蕎麦" meaning in All languages combined

See 蕎麦 on Wiktionary

Noun [Japanese]

IPA: [so̞ba̠] Forms: 蕎麦 [canonical] (ruby: 蕎麦(そば)), 蕎麦 [canonical], 蕎麦 [canonical] (ruby: 蕎麦(そまむぎ)), soba [romanization], sobamugi [romanization], somamugi [romanization], そばむぎ [hiragana]
Etymology: Not attested until the late 1400s, as a shortening of older 蕎麦 (soba mugi, literally “soba grain”). Two theories exist regarding the ultimate derivation of the soba element: * Samuel Martin reconstructs soba as Proto-Japonic *sonpa and derives it as a compound of *so (unknown) + *pa (“feather”). The *pa changes to *ₙba as an instance of rendaku (連濁). * From 稜 (soba, “an edge, a corner”), in reference to the seed of the plant being a triangular oval shape with protruding corners. Considering the late appearance of soba in isolation with the meaning of buckwheat, and the attested earlier senses of side; corner, edge, Martin's reconstruction seems unlikely. The kanji spelling is an example of jukujikun (熟字訓), from 蕎 (“buckwheat”) + 麦 (“wheat”).

  "etymology_text": "Not attested until the late 1400s, as a shortening of older 蕎麦 (soba mugi, literally “soba grain”).\nTwo theories exist regarding the ultimate derivation of the soba element:\n* Samuel Martin reconstructs soba as Proto-Japonic *sonpa and derives it as a compound of *so (unknown) + *pa (“feather”). The *pa changes to *ₙba as an instance of rendaku (連濁).\n* From 稜 (soba, “an edge, a corner”), in reference to the seed of the plant being a triangular oval shape with protruding corners.\nConsidering the late appearance of soba in isolation with the meaning of buckwheat, and the attested earlier senses of side; corner, edge, Martin's reconstruction seems unlikely.\nThe kanji spelling is an example of jukujikun (熟字訓), from 蕎 (“buckwheat”) + 麦 (“wheat”).",
