Adjective

IPA: [ko̞ɰᵝa̠i]
Etymology: From Old Japanese. Appears in the Nihon Shoki, c. CE 720. Ultimately from Proto-Japonic *kƏpa. Cognate with 怖い (kowai, “scary, frightening”), apparently from the sense of freezing from fright. Likely also cognate with other terms beginning with ko- and related to senses of hard, stiff, such as 凝る (koru, “to stiffen”), 凍ゆ (koyu, “to freeze, to become frozen”, classical) → modern 凍える (kogoeru).

Likely also cognate with other terms beginning with ko- and related to senses of hard, stiff, such as 凝る (koru, “to stiffen”), 凍ゆ (koyu, “to freeze, to become frozen”, classical) → modern 凍える (kogoeru).",
