Noun

IPA: [me̞], [me̞] Forms: me [romanization], [hiragana, historical]
Etymology: ⟨me₂⟩ → */məɨ/ → /me/ From Old Japanese, from Proto-Japonic *may. Cognate with 目(ま) (ma, bound form). Now the modern Japanese term for eye. Probably cognate with 見る (miru, “to see, to look”). May also be cognate with 芽 (me, “bud, shoot”), perhaps from the “visually prominent feature” sense, and with suppositional / volitional verb suffix む (mu) (presenting in modern Japanese verb conjugations as the -ō or -yō endings), perhaps from the “seem like, look like” sense.
