Noun

IPA: [sɨᵝjɯ̟ᵝ] Forms: 須臾 [canonical] (ruby: 須(す), 臾(ゆ)), suyu [romanization]
Etymology: Probably from Middle Chinese 須臾 (MC sju yu). The goon reading, so likely the initial borrowing. Ultimately derived as a meaning-based translation of Sanskrit मुहूर्त (muhūrta, “a moment, instant, any short space of time”), applied to the earlier phonetically transcribed term 牟呼栗多 (MC mjuw xu lit ta). This reading appears to be less common than shuyu above.
