 * Hmm. I'm not finding this in any of my references.  Online, I'm also finding hits like this page on HiNative, where Japanese writers appear to be asking what this means.
 * , other JA editors, might this be recent slang? Or should this be moved to RFV instead?  ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 22:43, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

Quotes
, you recently the text of several quotes.

, you those quotes.

Which versions are correct? The refs include URLs to Google Books, but Google is unhelpfully refusing to show me the relevant text.

FWIW, in the translation, I have confirmed that 中国時報 is definitely the "China Times" newspaper in Taiwan, and not just the generic term "Chinese information". ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 20:46, 5 May 2021 (UTC)


 * In Rousseau piece, the つ are indeed full sized, and あらぬ was a typo. I don't know about じょゆう → ぢょゆう, as there is no furigana in the original. Likewise for the Goethe, "さった" is "さつた" in the original, but there is no furigana for 結婚 or 女友, so.... Cnilep (talk) 05:10, 6 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Thank you . Considering the full-sized つ and the date of the Rousseau and Goethe translations, the historical kana orthography (ja:w:歴史的仮名遣い) would be appropriate -- the on'yomi for 女 is spelled じょ now, but it was formerly spelled ぢよ; likewise, the on'yomi for 友 is now ゆ but it was previously いう.  Cheers!  ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 17:41, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Perhaps dated? I found quotations from the early twentieth century, plus one recent usage from Taiwan (written in Japanese) about a WWII-era spy. I added three quotations. Cnilep (talk) 01:43, 25 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Thank you, @Μετάknowledge and . Looks good.  Probably needs labeling? , do you have any native-speaker insight on usage labels for this term?  ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 17:51, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, it’s dated and literary. Personally I haven’t seen it in modern writings. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 00:49, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you @Shinji. I've added a speculative etym and basic pronunciation.  ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 19:10, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

This looks done to me, so striking as resolved.
