ぐすく

Japanese

Etymology

Unclear. The initial gu may be cognate with 御 (go, “honorific”), but it is problematic in that the only honorary prefixes found in Omoro Sōshi are 御 (mi) and 御 (o). Suku may be related to しけ (shike, “a holy place”) or cognate with 塞 (soko, “fortress”). While written with the kanji for "castle", textual and cultural evidence suggests that the initial primary meaning was a holy place.

Noun

- 1531-1623: Omoro Sōshi
  一聞得大君ぎや降れて遊びよわれば天が下平らげてちよわれ又鳴響む精高子が又首里杜ぐすく 真玉杜ぐすく
