アンジャベル

Japanese edit

Etymology edit

Possibly a change in a borrowing from Dutch anjelier or anjer (“carnation flower”).[1][2] However, the Dutch ⟨j⟩ is pronounced as /j/, not as /d͡ʒ/ or /d͡ʑ/, and the -beru (-beru) ending has no clear derivation, suggesting that there may be a different source.

Pronunciation edit

  • (Tokyo) アンジャ​ベル [àńjáꜜbèrù] (Nakadaka – [3])[2]
  • IPA(key): [ã̠ɲ̟d͡ʑa̠be̞ɾɯ̟ᵝ]

Noun edit

アンジャベル • (anjaberu) 

  1. (archaic, possibly obsolete) a carnation flower
