  "etymology_text": "Likely from Old Japanese. Attested in a reading annotation to 春分 (\"vernal equinox\") in the Nihon Shoki of 720 CE; depending on the manuscript it appears with the unvoiced (or no rendaku) reading キサラキ (kisaraki).\n:\n:自(より)_㆑是(これ)以後(のち)、毎(ごとニ)_㆑當(あたル)_㆓ 季冬(しはすニ)_㆒、必(かならズ)藏(をさム)_㆑氷(こほりヲ)、至(いたリテ)_㆑于(に)_㆓春分(きさらぎ)_㆒、始(はじメテ)散(くばル)_㆑氷也(こほりヲ)。 [Man'yōgana]\n是(これ)より以後(のち)、季冬(しはす)に当(あた)る毎(ごと)に、必(かなら)ず氷(こほり)を蔵(をさ)む、春分(きさらぎ)に至(いた)りて、始(はじ)めて氷(こほり)を散(くば)る。 [Modern spelling]\nKore yori nochi, shiwasu ni ataru goto ni, kanarazu kōri o osamu, kisaragi ni itarite, hajimete kōri o kubaru.\nAfter this, he invariably storages ice every time when the end of winter (the 12th month) comes; When the vernal equinox (the 2nd month) comes, he distributes the ice for the first time.\nThe alternative spelling 衣更着 (and also 更衣 (“change the clothes”)) reflects the derivation from 衣 (kinu, “robes, clothing”) + 更 (sara, “again, more”) + 着 (ki, “wearing”, the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “continuative or stem form”) of verb 着る (kiru, “to wear clothing on the upper body”)), first proposed by a poet Fujiwara no Kiyosuke (藤原清輔), in his work Ōgishō, 1144.\nSome sources also note that this spelling only arose in the late Heian period and propose alternative hypotheses including:\n* Compound of 気 (ki, “spirits, mood”) + 更 (sara, “again, more”) + 来 (ki, “coming”, the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “continuative or stem form”) of verb 来る (kuru, “to come”)), from the sense of one's mood improving as winter comes to a close.\n* Compound of 生 (ki, “live; life”, short for iki) + 更 (sara, “again, more”) + 来 (ki, “coming”, the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “continuative or stem form”) of verb 来る (kuru, “to come”)), from the sense of plants putting forth new shoots.\n* James Marshall Unger suggests that this may ultimately be a loan from a source of modern Korean 겨울 (gyeoul, “winter”). Compare obsolete or dialectal form 겨슬 (gyeoseul), and Middle Korean 겨ᅀᆞᆶ (kyezolh). In this hypothesis, the /o/ in the Middle Korean is potentially problematic, but Unger views the final /-lh/ as a good match for the final /-raɡi/ in the Japanese. However this theory is problematic for the following reasons:\n** The 2nd month of the East Asian lunar calendar is when the vernal equinox occurs, or the middle month of spring, which is not considered winter.\n** The vowel ㅕ (Yale: ye) in Koreanic languages had been constantly transcribed as in Japanese, until its pronunciation changed to [jʌ̹] in standard Korean (cf. 寺(てら) (tera, “temple”, (very likely) borrowed from a Koreanic language (likely Baekje), related to Middle Korean 뎔〮 (Yale: tyél; modern Korean 절 (jeol))), 嶋(セマ) (sema, transliteration of a(n archaic) Baekje/Koreanic word for \"island\", related to 셤〯 (Yale: syěm; modern Korean 섬 (seom))), 倍留(ぺる) (peru, transliteration of 별 (byeol, “star”) in the Wakan Sansai Zue, 1712).\nThe spelling 如月 itself is borrowed from Middle Chinese 如月 (MC nyo ngjwot).",

  "etymology_text": "Likely from Old Japanese. Attested in a reading annotation to 春分 (\"vernal equinox\") in the Nihon Shoki of 720 CE; depending on the manuscript it appears with the unvoiced (or no rendaku) reading キサラキ (kisaraki).\n:\n:自(より)_㆑是(これ)以後(のち)、毎(ごとニ)_㆑當(あたル)_㆓ 季冬(しはすニ)_㆒、必(かならズ)藏(をさム)_㆑氷(こほりヲ)、至(いたリテ)_㆑于(に)_㆓春分(きさらぎ)_㆒、始(はじメテ)散(くばル)_㆑氷也(こほりヲ)。 [Man'yōgana]\n是(これ)より以後(のち)、季冬(しはす)に当(あた)る毎(ごと)に、必(かなら)ず氷(こほり)を蔵(をさ)む、春分(きさらぎ)に至(いた)りて、始(はじ)めて氷(こほり)を散(くば)る。 [Modern spelling]\nKore yori nochi, shiwasu ni ataru goto ni, kanarazu kōri o osamu, kisaragi ni itarite, hajimete kōri o kubaru.\nAfter this, he invariably storages ice every time when the end of winter (the 12th month) comes; When the vernal equinox (the 2nd month) comes, he distributes the ice for the first time.\nThe alternative spelling 衣更着 (and also 更衣 (“change the clothes”)) reflects the derivation from 衣 (kinu, “robes, clothing”) + 更 (sara, “again, more”) + 着 (ki, “wearing”, the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “continuative or stem form”) of verb 着る (kiru, “to wear clothing on the upper body”)), first proposed by a poet Fujiwara no Kiyosuke (藤原清輔), in his work Ōgishō, 1144.\nSome sources also note that this spelling only arose in the late Heian period and propose alternative hypotheses including:\n* Compound of 気 (ki, “spirits, mood”) + 更 (sara, “again, more”) + 来 (ki, “coming”, the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “continuative or stem form”) of verb 来る (kuru, “to come”)), from the sense of one's mood improving as winter comes to a close.\n* Compound of 生 (ki, “live; life”, short for iki) + 更 (sara, “again, more”) + 来 (ki, “coming”, the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “continuative or stem form”) of verb 来る (kuru, “to come”)), from the sense of plants putting forth new shoots.\n* James Marshall Unger suggests that this may ultimately be a loan from a source of modern Korean 겨울 (gyeoul, “winter”). Compare obsolete or dialectal form 겨슬 (gyeoseul), and Middle Korean 겨ᅀᆞᆶ (kyezolh). In this hypothesis, the /o/ in the Middle Korean is potentially problematic, but Unger views the final /-lh/ as a good match for the final /-raɡi/ in the Japanese. However this theory is problematic for the following reasons:\n** The 2nd month of the East Asian lunar calendar is when the vernal equinox occurs, or the middle month of spring, which is not considered winter.\n** The vowel ㅕ (Yale: ye) in Koreanic languages had been constantly transcribed as in Japanese, until its pronunciation changed to [jʌ̹] in standard Korean (cf. 寺(てら) (tera, “temple”, (very likely) borrowed from a Koreanic language (likely Baekje), related to Middle Korean 뎔〮 (Yale: tyél; modern Korean 절 (jeol))), 嶋(セマ) (sema, transliteration of a(n archaic) Baekje/Koreanic word for \"island\", related to 셤〯 (Yale: syěm; modern Korean 섬 (seom))), 倍留(ぺる) (peru, transliteration of 별 (byeol, “star”) in the Wakan Sansai Zue, 1712).\nThe spelling 如月 itself is borrowed from Middle Chinese 如月 (MC nyo ngjwot).",
