simp. (髑髅) | 髑 | 髅 |
Etymology
editCognate with 頭顱 (OC *doː b·raː) and 𩑒顱 (MC dak|traek|trhaek lu). The first syllable 髑 (OC *doːɡ) is a Sino-Tibetan item probably from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *tuk ~ *twak (“head; skull; neck”), whence also 脰 (OC *doːs, “neck”). The second syllable, 髏 (OC *roː) is likely a reduplication syllable starting with *r/*l (Schuessler, 2007). Alternatively but less likely, the second syllable is related to 婁 (OC *ɡ·roː) with a hypothetical meaning of "empty" or "dried" (see 婁婁/娄娄 (“empty”)); compare Mizo lu ro (“skull”) (lit. "dried head"), with the second syllable ro meaning "dry".
Words that appear similar to 髑髏 (OC *doːɡ roː) include 顱 (MC lu, “skull”) and Khmer រលា (rɔliə, “forehead; cranium; skull”).

jukujikun |
/sarekaube/ → /sarekɔːbe/ → /sarekoːbe/
Compound of 曝れ (sare, “weathering”, the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “continuative or stem form”) of verb 曝れる (sareru, “to weather, to degrade in color or form due to long exposure to wind, rain, and sun”)) + 頭 (kōbe, “head”).[4][5][1][3]
The kanji spelling is an example of jukujikun (熟字訓).
The fricative readings are less common, and derive as shifts from sarekōbe:
- /sarekoːbe/ → /ɕarekoːbe/
- /sarekoːbe/ → /ɕarekoːbe/ → /ɕarikoːbe/
