Etymology 2

Kanji in this term
許 嫁
Grade: 5 Grade: S
Irregular

Irregular shift from iinazuke above,[2] apparently influenced by the alternative yui reading for root verb stem 言う (ii, standard reading), and possibly also influenced by 結い (yui, “knot; binding together”, the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “continuative or stem form”) of verb 結う (yuu, “to tie a knot; to bind together”)).

Pronunciation

  • (Irregular reading)
    • (Tokyo) ゆいなずけ [yùínázúké] (Heiban – [0])[2]
    • IPA(key): [jɯ̟ᵝina̠zɨᵝke̞]
Usage notes

This reading appears to be rare. The senses are all the same as for iinazuke above.
