Reconstruction talk:Proto-Japonic/ito

Basis for *o
@Chuterix https://oncoj.ninjal.ac.jp/list_of_words_English.html has ito "thread" and not **itwo. So the PJ reconstruction is *itə. Kwékwlos (talk) 12:49, 27 March 2023 (UTC)


 * FWIW, that ONCOJ list has both ito and itwo. The point of note here is that itwo is only attested in Eastern Old Japanese (EOJ).  The word  appears only once in phonetic  anywhere in the MYS, in poem 20.4405 with the spelling .  Books 14 and 20 are all EOJ. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 18:14, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
