Etymology[edit]

The term omoro is a 連体形 (rentaikei, “attributive”) conjugation of an Old Okinawan omor- cognate with modern Okinawan 思ゆん (umuyun, “to think”), while sōshi most likely reflects 草紙 (sōshi, “written work”). (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?)

Pronunciation[edit]

Proper noun[edit]

おもろそうし • (Omoro Sōshi) ←おもろさうし (Omoro Sausi)?

  1. a collection of old songs from the Amami and Okinawa islands
