Etymology

/ɕiraki koto/ → /ɕiraɡi koto/ → /ɕiraɡiɡoto/

From Old Japanese. First mentioned in a text from 756 CE.[1]

Derived as a compound of 新羅 (Shiragi, “Silla”) +‎ 琴 (koto, “koto, Japanese zither”).[1][2][3][4][5]

Appears in the oldest sources without any voicing as しらきこと (Shiraki koto), later attested in 1678 with partial voicing as しらぎこと (Shiragi koto).[1] In modern usage, both portions include voicing, and the koto changes to goto as an instance of rendaku (連濁).

Pronunciation
  • (Tokyo) しらぎご​と [shìrágígóꜜtò] (Nakadaka – [4])[2]
  • IPA(key): [ɕiɾa̠ɡʲiɡo̞to̞]

Noun

新羅琴(しらぎごと) • (Shiragi-goto) ←しらぎごと (siragigoto)?

  1. Synonym of 伽耶琴 (Kaya-kin, “gayageum”)
