Proto-Japonic

Etymology

A user suggests that this Proto-Japonic reconstruction page be cleaned up, giving the reason: “Japanese sources derive Japanese 羽 (hane, “quill, from which a feather grows; feather; wing”) as a compound of 羽 (ha, “feather”) + 根 (ne, “root”). The word is even attested spelled as 羽根. The problem for this /-y/-final reconstruction is that hane ("feather") has no attested compounding form hana, and 根 (ne) likewise has no compounding form na. Old Japanese 羽 (pa) may be cognate with 葉 (pa, “leaf”). 羽 also appears as ha in Okinawan, c.f. JLect entries.”
Please see the discussion on Requests for cleanup(+) or the talk page for more information and remove this template after the problem has been dealt with.
