Noun

IPA: [ja̠ɡʲi] Forms: yagi [romanization]
Etymology: From Old Japanese. First attested in the Man'yōshū of 759. Ultimate derivation unclear. Theories include: * Shorter form of やなぎ (yanagi, “willow”), omitting the medial な (na). * From Middle Chinese 楊 (MC yang) + 木 (ki, “tree”). * From Middle Chinese 楊 (MC yang) + い (i, possible epenthesis; see also development of 銭 (zeni) from older sen), with resultant /jiaŋi/ realizing in Japanese phonology as yagi. Generally only found in compounds.

Noun

IPA: [ja̠ɡʲi] Forms: やぎ [canonical], ヤギ [canonical], yagi [romanization]
Etymology: Ultimate derivation unclear. Theories include: * Shift from 野牛 (yagyū, “wild cattle”), from a vague resemblance between the two creatures. * From Middle Chinese 羊 (MC yang) + い (i, possible epenthesis; see also development of 銭 (zeni) from older sen), with resultant /jiaŋi/ realizing in Japanese phonology as yagi. Might only be attested in Japanese since 1523. The kanji spellings, either 山 (“mountain”) + 羊 (“sheep”) or 野 (“field; wild”) + 羊 (“sheep”), are examples of jukujikun (熟字訓).
