Synonyms

Japanese

Etymology 1
Kanji in this term
螵 蛸
おおじがふぐり
Hyōgaiji Hyōgaiji
jukujikun

Compound of 祖父 (ōji, “grandad, old man”) +‎ が (ga, “-'s”, Old Japanese possessive particle) +‎ 陰嚢 (fuguri, “scrotum”),[1][2][3][4] presumably from a vague visual similarity. The spelling is from Middle Chinese. First cited in the 本草和名 (Honzō Wamyō, “Japanese Names of Medicinal Plants”), the oldest surviving medical work in Japanese.[1]

Pronunciation
  • (Tokyo) おおじがふ​ぐり [òójígáfúꜜgùrì] (Nakadaka – [5])[3]
  • IPA(key): [o̞ːʑiɡa̠ɸɯ̟ᵝɡɯ̟ᵝɾʲi]

Noun

螵蛸(おおじがふぐり) • (ōjigafuguri) ←おぽぢがふぐり (opodigafuguri)?

  1. [from 918] a mantis egg case
    Synonyms: (egg case in general) 卵塊 (rankai), 卵鞘 (ranshō)

Etymology 2
Kanji in this term
螵 蛸
ひょう
Hyōgaiji		 しょう
Hyōgaiji
on’yomi

Might be from Middle Chinese 螵蛸 (MC phjiew sjew), or might instead be a relatively recent borrowing from written Chinese 螵蛸 (piāoxiāo). This hyōshō pronunciation is not listed in dictionaries consulted to date,[1][2][3][4][5] and online searches of the Japanese web suggest that this pronunciation might be limited to Chinese medicine contexts.

Pronunciation
  • IPA(key): [ço̞ːɕo̞ː]

Noun

螵(ひょう)蛸(しょう) • (hyōshō) ←へうせう (feuseu)?

  1. [date uncertain] (traditional Chinese medicine) a mantis egg case
