Reconstruction talk:Proto-Japonic/tonari

I've done some digging in the , and I can only find with the reading  in both Western and Eastern dialects. Since the initial to- in tonari manifests as in Western, this cannot derive from the root meaning "door" without some other as-yet-unexplained process.

Findings so far, researching instances of to "door" in the ', where spelled out clearly using phonetic ':

 * Per final *-o discussion, turns out an EOJ to1nari1 exists, and the only preform is . In any other case the EOJ word would be *tunari1 had the preform been . We know already that this word is likely a compound. Kwékwlos (talk) 21:11, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't think the mechanics of the WOJ ↔ EOJ phonological relationship are fully understood yet with regard to any Proto reconstructions. Also, per that other thread, your proposed tuwanari would necessarily result in WOJ to1nari, for which we have no evidence in WOJ.  ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 23:55, 13 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Update: I cannot recall nor find where I ran across for WOJ.  ONCOJ only has  (twonari here, note nothing for tonari here), only appearing once in man'yōgana as, in MYS 14.3472; book 14 is EOJ, if memory serves.  See also Talk:隣.  ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 18:35, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
