"仮名" meaning in Japanese

See 仮名 in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [ka̠ɾʲina̠] Forms: 仮名 [canonical] (ruby: 仮(かり), 名(な)), karina [romanization], 假名 [alternative, kanji, kyūjitai], 仮字 [alternative, kanji, rare]
Etymology: From Old Japanese. Compound of 仮(かり) (kari, “borrowing, provisional thing”, cognate with verb 借(か)る (karu, “to borrow”), the Old Japanese form of modern 借(か)りる (kariru)) + 名(な) (na, “name, character”), from the way that Chinese characters were borrowed for their phonetic values to spell out the sounds of native Japanese words. Used in contrast to 真(ま)名(な) (mana, “true name, true character”), a synonym for 漢(かん)字(じ) (kanji), indicating Chinese characters used for their meaning instead of for their sound.

Noun

IPA: [ka̠me̞ː] Forms: 仮名 [canonical] (ruby: 仮(か), 名(めい)), kamei [romanization], 假名 [alternative, kanji, kyūjitai]
Etymology: From Middle Chinese 假名 (MC kaeX mjieng, literally “borrowed, false” + “name”). The kan'on reading, so probably a somewhat later borrowing from Chinese.

Noun

IPA: [ke̞mʲo̞ː] Forms: 仮名 ^ [canonical] (ruby: 仮(け), 名(みょう)), kemyō [romanization], kemyau [romanization], けみやう [hiragana, historical], 假名 [alternative, kanji, kyūjitai]
Etymology: /kemjau/ → /kemjɔː/ → /kemjoː/ From Middle Chinese 假名 (MC kaeX mjieng, literally “borrowed, false” + “name”). The goon reading, so probably an earlier borrowing from Chinese. Compare modern Min Nan reading ké-miâ. The Buddhist sense derives from use of this term in Chinese as a translation of Sanskrit प्रज्ञप्ति (prajñapti, “appointing → provisional naming”), used in some Buddhist schools to refer to the practice of conceptualising and naming things that are not real.
