Noun

Forms: tsubushi [romanization]
Etymology: First cited to a manuscript of the Ruijū Myōgishō of 1241. Cognate with Proto-Ryukyuan *tubusi (“knee”), whence Northern Amami Ōshima ’つぃ゚ぶし (/⁠tzˀɨbuɕi⁠/), Kikai ’とぅぶし (/⁠tˀubuɕi⁠/), Yoron ちんし (/⁠tɕìnɕì⁠/), Kunigami ’ちんし (/⁠tʑˀínɕì⁠/), Okinawan かたつぃんち (/⁠kátátsínɕí⁠/, “part of a knee”) Miyako つぃ゚ぐすぃ゚ (/⁠tsɿgusɿ⁠/), Yaeyama つぃ゚ぶすぃ゚ (/⁠tsɨ́búsɨ̀⁠/), Yonaguni んぶち (/⁠mbútɕí⁠/). Some sources derive this from つぶぶし (tsububushi, “ankle; knee”), in turn possibly from *粒節 (tsububushi, literally “grain joint”).
