"新羅" meaning in Old Japanese

See 新羅 in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

Forms: Siraki₂ [romanization], しらき [hiragana]
Etymology: Shiratori (1896) derived this word from Old Korean 徐羅城 (*Syera-KUY), reconstructed from 徐羅 (syera) as in 徐羅伐 (Syerapel, “Seorabeol”, its capital city, present day Gyeongju) or 斯羅 (MC sje la), an older name of Silla; and Old Japanese 城 (ki₂, “fortress, castle”) considered as borrowed from Baekje 己 (kuy), from Goguryeo 忽 (kol(o)) and older form 溝婁 /沟娄 (kwurwu, OC *koː ɡ·roː/ɡ·ro, MC kəu lɨo|ləu), equated with Old Korean 伐 (pel, “village”). Aisin-Gioro (2009) proposed that there are also similar exonyms for Korea, made from the same configuration, Old Turkic 𐰲𐰇𐰞𐰍𐰞 (čölüg el, “Silla”), Jurchen solgor (“Goryeo”, whence cognate with Manchu ᠰᠣᠯᡥᠣ (solho), “Korea”), and borrowed as Mongolian Солго (Solgo, “Korea”) and Middle Mongol 莎郎合思 (Solangqas, “Goryeo”, whence cognate with Mongolian Солонгос (Solongos), “Korea”), as being related to *Syera-kuy, and Khitan 𘬥𘲀𘭲𘮒 (*ś ul ó úr, “Silla, Goryeo”) as a descendant of 徐羅伐 (Syera-pel).
