ABSTRACT

This article surveyed different of Chinese character reading in place names of Wamyosyo, which differ from those in Manyosyu and so on. I examined examples of common uses of Chinese character reading among them. There were many accompanying examples about 「シ(si)→ス(su)」 「ヌ(nu)→ノ(no)」 「ミ(mi)→ム(mu)」 「モ(mo)→ム(mu)」. In case of 「ヌ(nu)→ノ(no)」, the letter 「ヌ(nu)」 in Manyo was recorded as 「乃(ノ乙 sort)」 in Chinese character readings of Wamyosyo without exception. It is thought that the letter 「ヌ(nu)」 in Manyo was recorded as 「乃」 without distinction between 甲 sort and ノ乙 sort, since Wamyosyo was created, in the middle age of Heian. There were numerous accompanying examples of マ line, 「ミ→ム(上・神・忌)」, and 「モ→ム(下・諸・桃)」. There was no regularity in the common use of ミ甲・乙 sort and ム in Wamyosyo. Moreover, イ-Euphonic changes and Kana Ligatures are other examples of common uses in place names’ reading in Wamyosyo.
