Proper name

IPA: [t͡sɨᵝba̠kʲi] Forms: つばき [canonical], ツバキ [canonical], Tsubaki [romanization]
Etymology: ⟨tubaki₁⟩ → */tubakʲi/ → /t͡subaki/ From Old Japanese. Appears in the Man'yōshū, completed some time after 759 CE. Ultimate derivation unknown. Various theories exist, including: * Possibly from Old Japanese element つば (tsuba, “glossy, shiny”) + 木 (ki, “tree”). *: Although 艶 (tsuya, “gloss, shine”) is verifiable, つば (tsuba, “glossy, shiny”) does not appear in references. *: Moreover, the final ki portion in the Old Japanese phonetic spelling of ⟨tubaki₁⟩ does not match the ⟨ki₂⟩ phonetic spelling for 木 (ki, “tree”). * Possibly a contraction from 艶葉木 (tsuya pa ki, literally “glossy leaf tree”), with rendaku changing the pa to ba. *: The shift from tsuya to just tsu would have had to occur even earlier than the Man'yōshū. There do not appear to be any other terms exhibiting this same shift. *: This theory also suffers from the same phonetic mismatch for the ki portion. * Possibly borrowed from Korean 동백(冬柏) (dongbaek).
