Glyph origin

[edit]
Historical forms of the character
Shang Western Zhou Warring States
Oracle bone script Bronze inscriptions Qin slip script

In the oracle bone script, it was an ideogrammic compound (會意会意) : 2 or 4 (“grass”) or even (“tree”) + (“sun”) + (“moon”) – the sun rising above the ground while the waning moon is still in the sky – the morning.

In the bronze script, it was a compound of 𠦝 and a pictograph of a river ( or ) – this was possibly an original form for (OC *r'ew, “tide”). The river glyph may be a corruption of due to association with tides or diurnal events. Chi (2010) considers such forms to be phono-semantic (形聲形声) , where 𠦝 is the abbreviated form of the phonetic (OC *ʔr'ew, *r'ew). In the some late Western Zhou forms, 𠦝 was corrupted into a form resembling .

According to Guo Moruo, in the stone drum inscriptions (石鼓文 (shígǔwén), likely from the Spring and Autumn period) was added (attached to ), and the river glyph was replaced with (OC *tjɯw), which was interpreted as the phonetic component; the small seal script might have inherited from this form. Shuowen interpreted the fused components of 𠦝 and as a semantic component (“dawn”). However, the accuracy of identification has been questioned; the character was a heavily weathered one in which the identification was probably spurious and likely influenced by the Shuowen. Meanwhile, the component on the right remained somewhat legible.[1]

The component remained in the bamboo and wooden slips of the Warring States period (see the table). In the clerical script since the Han dynasty, had been reverted to ; it is unclear whether this was a remnant from in the oracle bone script or a corruption of (as in < 𦩎 and many other characters). The current form is essentially inherited from the clerical script.

Etymology

[edit]

“Morning” > “perform the morning ceremony” > “to go/come to court; to have an audience”. Derivative: (OC *r'ew, “morning tide”).

Perhaps related to Thai เพรา (prao, morning) (Manomaivibool, 1975).

あさ

kun'yomi
Japanese Wikipedia has an article on:

English Wikipedia has an article on:

From Old Japanese, from Proto-Japonic *asa. Attested in the Man'yōshū of 759.[2]

Historically, a day was split into two halves:

  • Afternoon cycle: (asa) (hiru) ()
  • Evening cycle: 夕べ (yūbe) (yoi)夜中 (yonaka) (akatsuki) (ashita)

While asa and ashita represent the same time period, asa was associated with beginning of the afternoon and ashita was associated with the end of the night. Both terms share an initial as- and are likely etymologically related.

Beyond Japonic, possibly related to Middle Korean 아ᄎᆞᆷ〮 (àchóm, morning) > Korean 아침 (achim). Alexander Vovin believes this is a Koreanic borrowing into Japanese, identifying Japanese つとめて (tsutomete) as the native Japonic root for "morning" (Vovin 2010, p. 224).

  • However, つとめて (tsutomete) is not attested until the late 800s or early 900s,[3] and root (tsuto) as in 夙に (tsuto ni, early in the morning, adverb) not until roughly 850.[4]

Alternatively, may be cognate with adjective 浅い (asai, shallow; early), verbs 浅せる (aseru, to become shallow) and 褪せる (aseru, to fade, to become pale).

  • The concepts of "shallow" and "deep" are used in other respects relative to time, such as 夜更かし (yofukashi, staying up late into the night) and 夜更け (yofuke, very late at night), where the fuk- root in both terms is from 深い (fukai, deep; late, long-lasting).[5]
