From Old Japanese to1ra[1][2]. Perhaps cognate with *tora, a potentially tiger-related element found in Old Korean toponyms.[3]
Pellard (2013:92) includes to1ra among words with o1 excepted from the /-o-/ to /-u-/ vowel-raising rule and not originating from earlier diphthongs. According to Vovin (2021:111), West Old Japanese *to1ra, instead of expected *tura, is "anomalous" and possibly "a case of a sporadic analogical development".[4]
PronunciationEdit
NounEdit
- a tiger (The mammal Panthera tigris)
Usage notesEdit
As with many terms that name organisms, this term is often spelled in katakana, especially in biological contexts (where katakana is customary), as トラ.
