カムィ

Etymology
Likely related to 🇨🇬. The exact relationship between the two terms is unclear.

analyses kamuy as being made up of the root ka ("above"), which is then kamu ("to cover") and finally, through the addition of nominalising particle y, kamuy ("he who covers or overshadows"). In this case, 🇨🇬 or 🇨🇬 would be, in fact, a borrowing from Ainu.
