Proto-Japanese: *kárà
Altaic etymology: Altaic etymology
Meaning: empty
Russian meaning: пустой
Middle Japanese: kara (in comp.)
Tokyo: kará
Kyoto: kàrá
Kagoshima: kárà
Comments: JLTT 438. The accent in Kyoto is irregular, but Tokyo and Kagoshima point more or less certainly to *kárà. Despite Martin (ibid.), the word should be probably distinguished from *kárà 'shell'.
