"etymology_text": "From Old Japanese.\n/haha/: */papa/ → /fafa/ → /fawa/ → /fafa/ → /haha/.\nMedial /f/ [ɸ] regularly changes to /w/ [ɰᵝ], resulting in /fawa/ → /hawa/, the expected final form; see hawa below. This form first appears in the Heian period. However, likely due to spelling influence or reduplication associations, the earlier /fafa/ resurfaced in the late 16th century towards the end of the Muromachi period, with both forms seen until recent times, when hawa falls into disuse. Initial /f-/ [ɸ] regularly becomes [h], resulting in modern [ha̠ha̠].",

This form first appears in the Heian period. However, likely due to spelling influence or reduplication associations, the earlier /fafa/ resurfaced in the late 16th century towards the end of the Muromachi period, with both forms seen until recent times, when hawa falls into disuse.
