---|---|
皇 | 女 |
おう Grade: 6 |
じょ Grade: 1 |
goon | kan’on |
/waudʲo/ → /wɔːd͡ʑo/ → /oːd͡ʑo/
Ultimately from Middle Chinese 皇女 (MC hwang nrjoX|nrjoH).
The mixed use of the goon reading of /oː/ for the first kanji and the kan'on reading of /d͡ʑo/ for the second kanji may indicate a shift within Japanese after borrowing. The first appearance of this reading is unknown, but it would be some time after the appearance of the /koːd͡ʑo/ reading in the early 1300s.
