Noun

IPA: [ha̠] Forms: [canonical] (ruby: ()), ha [romanization], [counter]
Etymology: /pa/ → /ɸa/ → /ha/ From Old Japanese, from Proto-Japonic *pa. Probably cognate with Old Japanese verb 生ゆ (hayu, “to sprout, to grow”) → modern 生える (haeru), and with 羽 (ha, “feather; wing”). Suggested in some sources as possibly cognate with 歯 (ha, “tooth”) from the way that both sprout and then later fall, and with 刃 (ha, “blade”) from similarities in shape (cf. English blade). However, the pitch accent patterns are different; 葉 and 羽 are both unaccented, while 歯 and 刃 are both accented. This may reflect two disparate *pa roots in the ancient language. First attested in the Kojiki of 712 CE with the phonetic spelling 波. Cognate with Okinawan 葉 (fā).

English blade). However, the pitch accent patterns are different; 葉 and 羽 are both unaccented, while 歯 and 刃 are both accented. This may reflect two disparate *pa roots in the ancient language.\nFirst attested in the Kojiki of 712 CE with the phonetic spelling 波.\nCognate with Okinawan 葉 (fā).",
