"眼鏡" meaning in Okinawan

See 眼鏡 in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [ɡaɲt͡ɕoː] Forms: ganchō [romanization], がんちょー [hiragana]
Etymology: Cognate with mainland Japanese 眼鏡 (gankyō), ultimately deriving from written Chinese 眼鏡 /眼镜 (yǎnjìng). Eyeglasses are first mentioned in Chinese in the 1400s as 靉靆 /叆叇 (aidai?), a transcription of an Arabic term. By the late Ming dynasty, eyeglasses appear in writing as 靉靆即眼鏡 /叆叇即眼镜 (“aidai, i.e. eye-lenses”), using the compound term 眼鏡 /眼镜 (yǎnjìng, literally “eye + lens”). Compare modern Min Nan reading gán-kiàⁿ.
