Proper name

IPA: [na̠sɨbʲi] Forms: 茄子 [canonical] (ruby: 茄子(なすび)), Nasubi [romanization]
Etymology: First attested in the Wamyō Ruijushō (938 CE). Various theories exist regarding the ultimate derivation: * Shift from a compound of なす (nasu, “to become”, transitive) + 実 (mi, “fruit”). * Same as above, but with the なす part being a loanword or substrate word of Kra-Dai or Austronesian origin, compare Wu 落蘇 /落苏 (⁸loq-su₁), Teochew 落蘇 /落苏 (lag⁸ sou¹), Zhuang lwggwz and Paiwan [Term?] (lasaras). * Shift from 夏の実 (natsu no mi, literally “summer fruit”).
