Etymology edit

From Proto-Japonic *ito.

Noun edit

絲 (ito1 or ito2)

  1. thread
    • c. 759, Man’yōshū, book 4, poem 516:
      吾以在三相二搓流絲用而附手益物今曽悔寸
      WA GA MOTERU MI1TU API1 ni YO2RERU ITO MOTITE TUKE2temasi MONO2 IMA so2 KUYASIki1
      I am holding [it]! Three things spinning each other! If I put on that threads that, I'm holding right now, then I'll be regretting it!

Reconstruction notes edit

This word is only attested phonographically in two sources: a sakimori uta (Eastern Old Japanese) poem in the Man'yōshū as 伊刀, and in the Kakyō Hyōshiki as 伊止.[1]

The Records of the Three Kingdoms record a placename ito1 (伊都), and the Nihon Shoki also records ito1 (伊覩), which has been connected to Modern Japanese 糸島 (Itoshima) in Fukuoka Prefecture, and Bentley (2008, 15) connects this placename to this word.
