Etymology
editThe term omoro is a 連体形 (rentaikei, “attributive”) conjugation of an Old Okinawan omor- cognate with modern Okinawan 思ゆん (umuyun, “to think”), while sōshi most likely reflects 草紙 (sōshi, “written work”). (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?)
Pronunciation
editProper noun
editおもろそうし • (Omoro Sōshi) ←おもろさうし (Omoro Sausi)?
