Mountain words - Yamakotoba
|
Taboo words used by hunters and others. 70 to 80 words are known, and are kept secret from outsiders. Rice is called "kusa no mi", wolves are called "yase", bears are called "kuroge" and "yama no hito" (mountain man). In Matagi mountain words, there are also words borrowed from the Ainu language, such as seta (dog) and wakka (water). As with Oki kotoba, it is said that calling a prey by its real name would lead the prey to suspect it. → Related topics Slang Source : Heibonsha Encyclopedia About MyPedia Information |
