"かばね" meaning in Japanese

See かばね in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [ka̠ba̠ne̞] Forms: kabane [romanization]
Etymology: From Old Japanese. Ultimate derivation unclear. Some theories derive this clan sense as a Japanese compound of 株 (kabu, “stock, root”) + 根 (ne, “root, origin”) or 名 (na, “name”). However, the required /u/ → /a/ sound shift would be unusual. Another thought is that this might be a borrowing from, or somehow otherwise related to, Korean 골품 (golpum), a Sino-Korean term also spelled 骨品 (literally “bones + goods”), the name for a kind of kinship hierarchy that was prevalent in the Silla kingdom. This latter theory and its related bone sense might also account for the homophony with 屍, 尸 (kabane, “corpse, dead body”).
