Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *hljeb, *leb): semantic 艸 (“grass”) + phonetic 枼 (OC *leb, “flat”).
Possibly also ideogrammic compound (會意) with 枼 (“leaf”) also acting as a semantic component.
Etymology 1Edit
From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s-lap (“leaf”). Cognate with Tibetan ལོ་མ (lo ma, “leaf”), Western Tibetan ལོབ་མ (lob ma, “leaf”), Jingpho lap (“leaf”). Related to 世 (OC *hljebs, “world”).
This is part of the word family *lVp meaning “flat”, represented by the phonetic component 枼 (OC *leb). Compare also 茶 (OC *rlaː, “tea < *leaf”).

Etymology 1Edit
| Kanji in this term |
|---|
| 葉 |
| は Grade: 3 |
| kun’yomi |
/pa/ → /ɸa/ → /ha/
From Old Japanese[1], from Proto-Japonic *pa.
Probably cognate with Old Japanese verb 生ゆ (hayu, “to sprout, to grow”) → modern 生える (haeru), and with 羽 (ha, “feather; wing”).
Suggested in some sources as possibly cognate with 歯 (ha, “tooth”) from the way that both sprout and then later fall,[2] and with 刃 (ha, “blade”) from similarities in shape (cf. English blade). However, the pitch accent patterns are different; 葉 and 羽 are both unaccented, while 歯 and 刃 are both accented. This may reflect two disparate *pa roots in the ancient language.
