鯣烏賊 (surume ika): the Japanese flying squid set out for drying, after gutting, cleaning, and butterflying.

Etymology edit

Compound of 鯣 (surume, “squid used for drying”) +‎ 烏賊 (ika, “squid”).

After the sense of 鯣 (surume) shifted from "type of squid used for drying" to refer more to the end product in the early 1300s,^[1] this term surume ika arose to refer unambiguously to the squid rather than the product. First attested in 1787.^[2]

Pronunciation edit

(Tokyo) するめいか [sùrúméꜜ ìkà] (Nakadaka – [3])^[3]
IPA^(key): [sɨᵝɾɯ̟ᵝme̞ ika̠]

a Japanese flying squid (Todarodes pacificus)
