Noun

IPA: [mɯ̟ke̞ː] Forms: 無形 [canonical] (ruby: 無(む), 形(けい)), mukei [romanization]
Etymology: From Middle Chinese compound 無形／无形 (mju heng, literally “without shape”). A combined reading, using the goon for 無 (mu) but the kan'on for 形 (kei), so this reading likely represents a later development in Japan.

  1. formlessness, shapelessness, invisibility, intangibility, incorporeality Related terms: 無見 (muken) (ruby: 無見(むけん)) (english: the belief that everything in this world is null and void, without substance)
