あがい・あんがい・あか゚い【東・上い】

angai · anngai

Pronunciation: [ˀaŋai]

Definition

Noun

  1. East; eastern; eastward; in the east

Etymology

Cognate to standard Japanese あがり【上り】 agari "ascent; rise". The semantic shift from "ascent; rise" to "east" is a small feat when considering that the term would have been used to denote the direction where the sun rises, ascends.

意味:ひがし【東】

+ amend/report
