Etymology
Attested late, in Shiming as 柂 and Guangyun as 舵.
Shiming connects it to 拖 (OC *l̥ˤaj, “to drag, to pull, to haul”). Meanwhile, Schuessler (2007) considers it an areal word; compare Vietnamese lái (“to drive (a wheeled vehicle), to steer (a vessel), etc.”) and Thai ท้าย (táai, “stern; back; rear end”).
Pronunciation
Note:
- to5 - literary;
- to4 - vernacular (read as 砣, usually in compounds in the sense of “rudder”);
- taai5 - vernacular (“rudder; steering”).
Note:
- duâi - vernacular;
- dò̤ - literary.
Note:
- tō/tǒ/tǒ͘ - literary;
- tōa/tǒa, tāi/tǎi - vernacular.

Etymology
/kadi/ → /kad͡ʑi/
From Old Japanese. This originally referred to a single oar-like device attached to the back of a small boat and swept from side to side to propel the boat forward. This was also used for steering, and over time, the “single back oar” sense was largely superseded by the “steering device” sense.
Pronunciation
Noun
舵 • (kaji) ←かぢ (kadi)?
- (nautical) the rudder of a boat or ship
- (nautical, aeronautics) the helm, tiller, or wheel of a boat or ship, or of an aircraft
- (figurative) a position of leadership or control
- (nautical) a single oar-like device attached to the back of a small boat and swept from side to side to propel the boat forward
