稟告

稟告

1. to report (to one's superior)

/pinkoku/ → /finkoku/ → /hinkoku/

From Middle Chinese compound 稟告／禀告 (pim^X kowk, literally “report, petition + inform”). Compare modern Min Nan reading pín-kò or Mandarin bǐnggào.

The goon reading, so likely the original borrowing.

• (Tokyo) ひんこく (Heiban – )^[1]
• IPA^(key):

稟(ひん)告(こく) • (hinkoku) 

1. (rare, possibly obsolete) reporting (especially to a superior)
2. (rare, possibly obsolete) a report (especially to a superior)

• 上申(じょうしん) (jōshin)
• 報告(ほうこく) (hōkoku) (lacks the “to a superior” sense)

稟(ひん)告(こく)する • (hinkoku suru) suru (stem 稟(ひん)告(こく)し (hinkoku shi), past 稟(ひん)告(こく)した (hinkoku shita))

1. (rare, possibly obsolete) to report, to make a report (especially to a superior)

• 上申(じょうしん) (jōshin)
• 報告(ほうこく) (hōkoku) (lacks the “to a superior” sense)

Appears to be a shift in pronunciation within Japanese, likely influenced by the alternative Middle Chinese reading lim^X for the 稟／禀 character. The rin reading in Japanese is sometimes treated as kan'yōon.^[2][1]
