"飢し" meaning in Japanese

See 飢し in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: Cognate with Proto-Ryukyuan *yawasi- (“hungry”) (whence Yoron よーしゃん (yōshan), Miyako やーすぃ゚ (yāsï). Further etymology unknown; the Nihon Kokugo Daijiten only cites kanbun texts from the Heian period annotating such word, including one with the attributive form yawaki. Jidai-betsu Kokugo Daijiten refers to this adjective as a -shiku adjective with the reading yafasi (やはし), but all other sources refer to it as a -ku adjective with no historical reading.
