## Japanese
### Etymology 1

Kanji in this term :
| 石 | 斑 | 魚 |
| うぐい |||
| Grade: 1 | Grade: S | Grade: 2 |
| jukujikun |||
* Alternative spelling
* 鯎
Derivation uncertain, with two theories:
* Possibly originally a compound of 鵜 (u, “cormorant”) +‎ 食い (kui, “eating, gobbling”, the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “continuative or stem form”) of verb 食う (kuu, “to eat, to gobble”)).
       /u/ + /kufi/ → /uɡufi/ → /uɡuhi/ → /uɡui/
* Alternatively, may be a shift from 海 (u, “sea, ocean”, hypothetical stem or root of 海 (umi, “sea”)) +‎ 鯉 (koi, “carp”).
       /u/ + /kofi/ → */uɡofi/ → /uɡufi/ → /uɡuhi/ → /uɡui/

#### Pronunciation

* (Tokyo) うぐい [ùgúí] (Heiban – [0])
* IPA: [ɯ̟ɡɯ̟i]

#### Noun

石斑魚(うぐい) or 石斑魚(ウグイ) • (ugui)
* Alternative spelling of 鯎 (ugui, “Japanese dace, also known as the big-scaled redfin: Tribolodon hakonensis, an edible fish in family Cyprinidae”)

##### Usage notes

This three-kanji spelling is an example of jukujikun.

### Etymology 2

Kanji in this term :
| 石 | 斑 | 魚 |
| いしぶし |||
| Grade: 1 | Grade: S | Grade: 2 |
| jukujikun |||
* Alternative spellings
* 石伏 石伏し
Compound of 石 (ishi, “rock, stone”) +‎ 伏し (fushi, “crouching down, lying down; hiding”, the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “the continuative or stem form”) of verb 伏す (fusu, “to crouch down, to lie down; to hide”)), from the way the fish seem to crouch down and hide among the stones of the river bed. The fushi changes to bushi as an instance of rendaku (連濁).

#### Pronunciation

* (Tokyo) いしぶし [ìshíbúshí] (Heiban – [0])
* IPA: [iɕibɯ̟ɕi]

#### Noun

石斑魚(いしぶし) or 石斑魚(イシブシ) • (ishibushi)
* alternative for 葦(よし)登(のぼり) (yoshinobori): a kind of freshwater goby, any fish of genus Rhinogobius

##### 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 イシブシ.
