---|---|---|
石 | 斑 | 魚 |
うぐい | ||
Grade: 1 | Grade: S | Grade: 2 |
jukujikun |
Alternative spellings |
---|
ウグイ 鯎 |
Derivation uncertain, with two theories:
- Possibly originally a compound of 鵜 (u, “cormorant”) + 食い (kui, “eating, gobbling”, the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “continuative or stem form”) of verb 食う (kuu, “to eat, to gobble”)).[1]
- /u/ + /kufi/ → /uɡufi/ → /uɡuhi/ → /uɡui/
- Alternatively, may be a shift from 海 (u, “sea, ocean”, hypothetical stem or root of 海 (umi, “sea”)) + 鯉 (koi, “carp”).[1]
- /u/ + /kofi/ → */uɡofi/ → /uɡufi/ → /uɡuhi/ → /uɡui/
Pronunciation edit
Noun edit
石斑魚 or 石斑魚 • (ugui) ←うぐひ (ugufi)?
- the Japanese dace, also known as the big-scaled redfin: Tribolodon hakonensis, an edible fish in family Cyprinidae
Usage notes edit
This three-kanji spelling is an example of jukujikun.
As with many terms that name organisms, this term is often spelled in katakana, especially in biological contexts (where katakana is customary), as ウグイ.

石伏 石伏し |
Compound of 石 (ishi, “rock, stone”) + 伏し (fushi, “crouching down, lying down; hiding”, the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “the continuative or stem form”) of verb 伏す (fusu, “to crouch down, to lie down; to hide”)),[5] from the way the fish seem to crouch down and hide among the stones of the river bed.[2] The fushi changes to bushi as an instance of rendaku (連濁).
Pronunciation edit
Noun edit
- alternative for 葦登 (yoshinobori): a kind of freshwater goby, any fish of genus Rhinogobius
Usage notes edit
As with many terms that name organisms, this term is often spelled in katakana, especially in biological contexts (where katakana is customary), as イシブシ.
