Glyph origin[edit]

Possibly a phono-semantic compound (形聲形声, OC *l̥ʰaːb, *l'eːb) : semantic (fish) + phonetic (OC *leb). Another explanation is that it is an ideogrammic compound (會意会意) : semantic (fish) + semantic (flat, wide, thin). It is possible that the two interpretations influenced each other.

Etymology[edit]

Japanese Wikipedia has an article on:

(karei): a righteye flounder

/kara eɸi//kareɸi//karewi//karei/

Originally from a shift of 王余魚 (kara-ei) attested in the Honzō Wamyō, itself a compound of (Kara, Korea, euphemism) +‎ (ei, [a kind of] ray); it is said that the flounder was imported from Korea to Japan in the Samhan period, and was regarded to the Koreans at that time as “beautiful”. From its ray-like appearance, the medieval Japanese had mistaken the flounder for such. (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?)

Pronunciation[edit]

Noun[edit]

(かれい) (kareiかれひ (karefi)?

  1. a righteye flounder (flatfish of the family Pleuronectidae)
    • 938, Minamoto no Shitagō, Wamyō Ruijushō, volume 8:
      王餘魚 朱厓記云:南海有王餘魚[和名:加良衣比、俗云:加禮比]昔、越王作盡餘半棄水因以半身魚、故曰王餘魚
      Righteye flounder (literally “king-remaining fish”): according to the Zhūyá chronicle, at the southern sea there exists a righteye flounder (Japanese name kara-ei, commonly said karei); long ago, the king of Yuè had not completely made kuài and discarded half of the remaining into the water; as a result half of his body turned into a fish, hence the name.
    • 1603–1604, Nippo Jisho:
      Care[sic]. Linguado. Vide, Carei.
      Carei. Linguado. No Cami ʃe diz Care.
      Kare: flounder, see Karei.
      Karei: flounder, read also as Kare above.
  2. (rare, obsolete) Synonym of 舌鮃 (shitabirame): a sole (flatfish of the family Soleidae)
