頰白鮫 (kyūjitai) |
(Can this(+) etymology be sourced?) From 頬 (hō, “cheek”) + 白 (shiro, “white”) + 鮫 (same, “shark”). The shiro reading for 白 changes to jiro as an instance of rendaku (連濁). The same reading for 鮫 changes to zame as an instance of rendaku (連濁).
Usage notes
- As with many terms that name organisms, this term is often spelled in katakana, especially in biological contexts (where katakana is customary), as ホオジロザメ.
