Readings
[edit]
Etymology 1
[edit]| Kanji in this term |
|---|
| 鵯 |
| ひよどり Hyōgai |
| kun'yomi |
| Alternative spellings |
|---|
| 鵯鳥 白頭鳥 (rare) |
Compound of ひよ (hiyo, onomatopoeia for the bird's call) + 鳥 (tori, “bird”).[1][2][3][4][5] The tori changes to dori as an instance of rendaku (連濁). The 鵯 kanji spelling is an orthographic borrowing from Chinese 鵯 / 鹎 (bēi). See also the alternative spelling 鵯鳥, explicitly spelling out the tori ("bird") portion using the 鳥 (tori, “bird”) kanji.
Date of first attestation is currently uncertain.
Pronunciation
[edit]- IPA(key): [çijo̞do̞ɾʲi]
- (Tokyo) ひよどり [hìyódórí] (Heiban – [0])[3][6]
- (Tokyo) ひよどり [hìyóꜜdòrì] (Nakadaka – [2])[3][5][6]
Noun
[edit]鵯 • (hiyodori) ←ひよどり (fiyodori)?
- [date unknown] brown-eared bulbul, Hypsipetes amaurotis
- [date unknown] (more generally) any kind of bulbul, a bird in the family Pycnonotidae
Usage notes
[edit]As with many terms that name organisms, this term is often spelled in katakana, especially in biological contexts (where katakana is customary), as ヒヨドリ (hiyodori).
Derived terms
[edit]Etymology 2
[edit]| Kanji in this term |
|---|
| 鵯 |
| ひよ Hyōgai |
| kun'yomi |
Appears to be a clipping of the hiyodori reading,[1][3] likely based on the sound of the bird's call.
First attested in 1822.[1]
Pronunciation
[edit]Noun
[edit]- [from 1823] a bulbul, a bird in the family Pycnonotidae; more specifically, the brown-eared bulbul, Hypsipetes amaurotis
Etymology 3
[edit]| Kanji in this term |
|---|
| 鵯 |
| ひえどり Hyōgai |
| kun'yomi |
Alternative name for hiyodori.[1][2][3][4] Two derivations are discussed:
- May be a sound shift from hiyodori.[4]
- May be a compound of 稗 (hie, “millet”) + 鳥 (tori, “bird”), from the way the bird might eat millet.[4]
One reference claims that the brown-eared bulbul does not eat millet.[4] However, other sources indicate that this bird does eat seeds, potentially including millet.[7][8]
First attested in the 本草和名 (Honzō Wamyō, literally “Japanese names of the true herbs”), a medicinal reference work from 918 CE.[1][2] This reading appears to be less common in modern usage, and dictionaries may not include a full entry for this.[3][5]
Pronunciation
[edit]Noun
[edit]鵯 • (hiedori) ←ひえどり (fiedori)?
- [from 918] (uncommon) a bulbul, a bird in the family Pycnonotidae; more specifically, the brown-eared bulbul, Hypsipetes amaurotis
