Alternative forms

Etymology

Two theories:

  • A sound change from the 唐音 (とうおん, “tōon”) reading of "スワンパン" (swanpan), or
  • From a Ryūkyūan language, written as スルバン (suruban), originally スヌパン (sunupan).

Both have the same origin: the abacus was imported to Japan from China during the Muromachi period. (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?) Compare from Mandarin, above.
