## Old Japanese
### Etymology

From Proto-Japonic *ito.

### Noun

絲 (ito$_1$ or ito$_2$)
* thread
** c. 759, Man’yōshū, book 4, poem 516:吾以在三相二搓流絲用而附手益物今曽悔寸WA GA MOTERU MI$_1$TU API$_1$ ni YO$_2$RERU ITO MOTITE TUKE$_2$temasi MONO$_2$ IMA so$_2$ KUYASIki$_1$I am holding [it]! Three things spinning each other! If I put on that threads that, I'm holding right now, then I'll be regretting it!

#### Reconstruction notes

This word is only attested phonographically in two sources: a sakimori uta (Eastern Old Japanese) poem in the Man'yōshū as 伊刀, and in the Kakyō Hyōshiki as 伊止.
The Records of the Three Kingdoms record a placename ito$_1$ (伊都), and the Nihon Shoki also records ito$_1$ (伊覩), which has been connected to Modern Japanese 糸島 (Itoshima) in Fukuoka Prefecture, and Bentley (2008, 15) connects this placename to this word.
