雖も
Japanese
[edit]Kanji in this term |
---|
雖 |
いえど Hyōgai |
kun'yomi |
Alternative spelling |
---|
言えども (proscribed) |
Etymology 1
[edit]From Old Japanese. Attested since at least the Man'yōshū of 759.[1]
Analyzable as 仮定形 (kateikei)/已然形 (izenkei) of verb 言う (iu, to say) + inflectional suffix ど (do, indicating contrasting conjunction) + particle も (mo).[1][2][3][4]
The kanji spelling is from Middle Chinese via kanbun.[1][2][3][4][5]
Up through the Heian period, the reading ifu to mo was used specifically for hypothetical statements, while the iedo mo reading was used specifically for conditional statements. Over time, this distinction eroded, and by the Edo period, the iedo mo reading was used for both cases.[1][2][3]
Pronunciation
[edit]Conjunction
[edit]雖も • (iedomo) ←いへども (ifedomo)?
- [from 700s] (literary) even though; despite; notwithstanding
Usage notes
[edit]Some style guides may proscribe the alternative spelling 言えども in formal contexts.[7]
