Proto-Japanese: *situ

Altaic etymology: Altaic etymology

Meaning: damp place, dampness

Russian meaning: влажность, влажное место

Middle Japanese: situ

Tokyo: shitsu

Comments: The word is usually considered to be an on-reading of the Chinese character 濕 MC śip. The latter should normally have a reading MJ sifu, mod. shū (which exists), while situ/shitsu, attested in separate usage since Middle Japanese, appears quite irregular phonetically for a Chinese loan. We should rather think of a genuine *situ, misconceived as a Chinese loanword.

Comments: JLTT 531. RJ sù points to *sù, supported by the Tokyo variant sú; however, Tokyo sù and all other dialect forms go back to *sú. A possibility of being borrowed from Middle Chinese 州 ćü is not excluded - although not very significant (the word is attested in archaic texts containing very few Chinese loanwords).
