波布 (canonical)
波布 (canonical)
habu (romanization)

English: habu

Borrowed from Okinawan 蛇(はぶ) (habu, “snake”). Likely cognate with Japanese 蛇(へび) (hebi, “snake”).
* Possibly an alteration from 反鼻 (hanbi), an obsolete term for a kind of Chinese medicine made from the skin and/or organs of certain venomous snakes.
* More likely, may be an alteration from 蛇(へび) (hebi, “snake”). Some dialects distinguish between non-poisonous hebi and poisonous habi.
* Possibly also related to, or influenced by, Old Japanese-derived verb 食(は)む (hamu, “to bite”). An /m/ - /b/ alternation can be found in some Japanese words, so a shift from hamu to habu is a reasonable possibility. The standard modern Japanese word hebi for “snake” may similarly be derived from, or have been influenced by, hamu “to bite”.
The kanji spelling 波布 is an example of ateji, with the characters chosen purely for their phonetic values.

[ho̞ːɾẽ̞ɰ̃so̞ː]

The plant was introduced to Japan in the 16th century from China. A number of Japanese sources state that the term 菠薐 (hōren) had previously been borrowed from Middle Chinese 菠薐 to refer vaguely to Persia or Nepal. The spinach plant did likely originate in the area of ancient Persia, but the Chinese term itself means spinach, not Nepal or Persia or any other place name. The plant was introduced to China via the region of Nepal around the year 647, suggesting that the Chinese term may have been borrowed from the Sanskrit language in use by the Licchavi kingdom ruling Nepal at that time. One possible Sanskrit source term is पालङ्ग (pālaṅga, “beet” or “beet greens” initially, later extended to also refer to “spinach”). Compare modern Nepali पालुङ्गो (pāluṅgo, “spinach”).
The Japanese term would thus be a compound of 菠薐 (hōren, “spinach”, obsolete, not used in modern Japanese) + 草 (sō, “herb, plant”).
The alternative kanji spellings are ateji or phonetic substitutions.

Originally borrowed from Latin aloe.
During the Edo period, this plant was known in Japan as roe, an abbreviation of the Latin-derived genus name Aloe.
The kanji spelling is ateji (当て字), based on the borrowed reading of e for 薈 (which has official on'yomi of wai and kai, historical kwai), based on the goon reading of e for the separate character 會, the lower portion of the character 薈 (and the kyūjitai form of shinjitai 会). Over time, the irregular e reading reverted to the then-official kwai reading, which then shifted to produce modern rokai.

茗荷

Daijirin
Daijisen
Myoga
Nara period
ja:ミョウガ
ja:松村明

From Old Japanese [Term?]. Some sources mention that this might be a compound of 芽 (me, “sprout”) + 香 (ka, “fragrant”). However, the semantics are backwards compared to most other Japanese compounds. In addition, this term appears in writings of the Nara period with the spellings 女我 and 売我. The me syllable here is spelled phonetically with the so-called Type-A or 甲類 (kōrui) reading of e₁, but 芽 in Old Japanese had the Type-B or 乙類 (otsurui) reading of e₂. These two different e phonetic values were distinct in Old Japanese, indicating that 芽 (me, “sprout”) + 香 (ka, “fragrant”) is not the actual derivation.
(For more details on Old Japanese spellings and phonetic values, see Jōdai Tokushu Kanazukai on Wikipedia.Wikipedia)
This reading is obsolete in modern Japanese.

/kokorobuto/ → /kokorotei/ → /kokoroten/ → /tokoroten/
Shift from kokorobuto (see below).
