Etymology

Compound of 簫 (shō, “xiao”, a kind of Chinese flute) +‎ の (no, possessive particle) +‎ 笛 (fue, “flute”).[1]

Synonymous with just 簫 (shō) on its own.[1] However, given the rarity of this kanji in writing, and the large number of possible single-kanji terms pronounced as shō in Japanese, the longer version that specifies 笛 (“flute”) is used to clarify and disambiguate.

Pronunciation

  • (Tokyo) しょーのふえ [shóꜜò nò fùè] (Atamadaka – [1])[1]
  • IPA(key): [ɕo̞ː no̞ ɸɯ̟e̞]

Noun

簫(しょう)の笛(ふえ) • (shō no fue) ←せうのふえ (seunofue)?

  1. xiao a Chinese end-blown bamboo flute
    Synonyms: 簫の笛 (shō no fue), 洞簫 (dōshō)
