"おもう" meaning in Japanese

See おもう in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Verb

IPA: [o̞mo̞ɯ̟]
Etymology: ⟨omo₂pu⟩ → */əməpu/ → /omoɸu/ → /omou/ From Old Japanese, from Proto-Japonic *əməp-. First attested in the Kojiki of 712 CE. Also appears in the Man'yōshū poetry compilation, completed c. 759 CE. There are two main theories for its ultimate derivation: * May be cognate with 面 (omo, “face”), from the sense of how one's emotions appear on one's face. * May be cognate with 重 (omo, “weight”), from the sense of weighing different options. Compare similar derivations of English ponder (as in “to weigh; to think”) and ponderous (as in “heavy, weighty”). However, this runs into problems, since the ancestor of this form is reconstructed as *onpo- (“heavy”).

Also appears in the Man'yōshū poetry compilation, completed c. 759 CE. There are two main theories for its ultimate derivation:\n* May be cognate with 面 (omo, “face”), from the sense of how one's emotions appear on one's face.\n* May be cognate with 重 (omo, “weight”), from the sense of weighing different options. Compare similar derivations of English ponder (as in “to weigh; to think”) and ponderous (as in “heavy, weighty”). However, this runs into problems, since the ancestor of this form is reconstructed as *onpo- (“heavy”).",
