質問: There are a few words, which are written with Kanji imported from China, but where the intended native Japanese meaning would prefer a different choice of Kanji. My favourite examples are ``` 雷 vs. 神鳴り (cf. 海鳴り) 鶏 vs. 庭鳥 向日葵 vs. 日回り ``` Does there already exist a list of these words? If not, can anybody come up with more examples? P.S. Any suggestions for a better title?
回答: Better title? I guess "Kun'yomi spanning multiple morphemes (which each have kanji of their own)" might be more precise, but better... not sure. Lots of verbs too. > > 顧みる/省みる vs 返り見る > > 試みる vs 心見る > > 陥る/陥れる vs 落ち入る/落とし入れる > > 弄ぶ vs 持て遊ぶ > > 承る vs 受け賜わる > > > > There are cases where the etymology is unclear, or at least not obvious, too. I'm sure 翻す and 覆す are *something*+返す, but I don't know the etymology of ひる and くつ in these combinations.
