ABSTRACT

Chinese character 舳 meaning ship(船) was written in the ancient Japanese texts of 『Nihonsyoki(日本書紀)』, 『Fudōki(風土記)』, 『Manyōsyū(万葉集)』, and it was read /ɸë/. It is simply pointed out that /ɸë/ has the relationship with the Korean /pɐi()/ in the Iwanami’s Oid Japanese Dictionary(岩波古語辞典) without any grounds. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine the relationship between Old Korean /pɐi()/ and Old Japanese /ɸë/. 閇 is the phonetic alphabet of /ɸë/ representing for the 舳 written in No. 894 of Manyōsyū. The phonetic value of 「閇」 is assumed to be [ei] from the result of the analysis of several materials, but [ei] does not correspond to the sound of /ɸë/ but to the one of /ɸe/. Looking from the Chinese phonological point of view, it could be seen through contemporary Chinese poetry that Qi rime(斉韻[ei]) and Jie rime(皆韻[ɐi]) were used as the same rimes during the first era(370-497 years) of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Because 閇 was replaced with /ɸë/ during the first era of the Dynasties, it is explained with an example of the Sino-Korean /폐[pjəi]/ that the sound was assumed as [pei]. Looking at these two points of view, the fact that 閇/Fë/ was written as 舳 reflects the strong relevancy with Ancient Korean /([pʌi])/.
