Baekje
Etymology
Analyzed by John Bentley as equivalent to Middle Korean 벗〯 (pěs, “friend, companion”) + 갓 (kàs, “woman”).
Noun
ハシカシ (*pasIkasI)
- (royal) consort
- Synonym: 於陸 (*oluk, *oruk, “queen”)
Reconstruction notes
Appears in katakana glosses to the Nihon shoki for Classical Chinese 夫人 (fūrén, “consort”) in the Baekje context, notably to refer to Queen Eun'go, the final Baekje queen consort.
As the Book of Zhou states that 於陸 (*oluk) was used by the Baekje nobility to refer to the queen without giving the equivalent term used by commoners, Japanese linguist Kōno Rokurō speculated that this was the commoners' word not mentioned by Zhou.
