Noun

IPA: [ka̠ta̠na̠] Forms: 刀 [canonical] (ruby: 刀(かたな)), katana [romanization]
Etymology: From Old Japanese. First cited to the Nihon Shoki of 720 CE. From Proto-Japonic *katana. Compound of 片 (kata, “one side”) + な (na, “edge”). This na element is spelled in monolingual Japanese sources as 刃 (“edge, blade”), but there is no historical attestation for any na reading for this character. A comparison with Middle Korean ᄂᆞᆶ〮 (nólh, “blade”) and modern Korean 날 (nal) suggests a Koreanic origin for this latter element.
