Tone of wo cord in Heian period is LL, pointing to a low register. Meanwhile wo 'tail' has a HH accent in Heian kyoto, pointing to a high register (from Nihon Kokugo Daijiten 2 in JapanKnowledge). The two words must have conflated, and accounts for identical accent in modern languages. Thus, while the semantics are convincing, the internal history of both words probably disregard those etymologies. Chuterix (talk) 22:50, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
