Etymology 2 edit

Kanji in this term
抱
いだ
Grade: S
kun’yomi
Alternative spellings
懐く
擁く (rare)

/udaku/ → /idaku/

Shift from earlier udaku.[1]

This reading is possibly cited to a work from roughly 850 CE.[1] However, that citation is phonologically ambiguous, and may represent the reading udaku instead. The first unambiguous citation for the idaku reading is in the Tosa Nikki of roughly 935 CE.[1]

While there are numerous examples of mu shifting to u in various words, the mu- → u- → i- shift is unusual, and is shared only by mubara → ubara → ibara (茨, “bramble, briar”).[1]

Found more commonly in 和文 (wabun, “texts written primarily in native Japanese vocabulary”).[1]

Etymology 3 edit

Kanji in this term
抱
うだ
Grade: S
irregular
Alternative spelling
懐く

⟨mudaku⟩ → /mudaku/ → /udaku/

Shift from Old Japanese 抱く (mudaku),[1] in turn possibly a compound of 身 (mu, “body”, combining reading) +‎ 綰く (taku, “to gather in the hands; to work or operate something with the hands”).[1]

First cited to a text from roughly 810 CE.[1]

This reading is encountered more in the context of 漢文訓読 (kanbun kundoku, “the Japanese reading of texts written primarily in a variety of Classical Chinese”), and it fell out of use in roughly the Kamakura period.[1][2]
