や Grade: 3 |
| kan'on | kun'yomi |
Compound of 宿 (shuku, “inn, hotel”) + 屋 (ya, “roof, house, building”), using the on'yomi reading for the 宿 kanji.[1]
Appears to be a dialectal regionalism used in the Echizen area, which apparently arose from the practice of using prettier and fire-resistant roofing materials for the stations (inns) along the old post roads.[1]
