Lexical interpretation and sources

ウヱニ「雨」 → weni

Interpretation confidence: medium

Batchelor explicitly gives Wen-i for fine rain, with Wen-i ash for drizzling. This supports the historical rain word despite Tamura’s homonym referring to badness. Weni retains the supplied normalized spelling; Batchelor’s boundary notation is preserved as a comparison.

Batchelor 1938 s.v. Wen-i「n. Badness. A bad place. ／ n. Fine rain. As:— Wen-i ash, “to drizzel.”」 (p.556); 田村すず子 1996 s.v. weni「(直訳すると)悪さ､ だめになったとき。…」
