| 葉 |
| は Grade: 3 |
| kun’yomi |
/pa/ → /fa/ → /ha/
From Old Japanese.[1], from Proto-Japonic *pa. Probably distinct from the Old Japanese verb 生ゆ (hayu, “to sprout, to grow”) → modern 生える (haeru) and 花 (hana, “flower”) and instead related to 羽 (ha, “feather; wing”). Probably also cognate with 歯 (ha, “tooth”) from the way that both sprout and then later fall, and with 刃 (ha, “blade”) from similarities in shape. Compare English blade.
