メイ
Ainu「寒」
memedium
The coldness meaning is directly supported. Tamura and Nakagawa describe me as a root used in compounds, whereas Kayano gives 寒さ and Mukawa data contain elicited me. The source’s final イ remains to be explained, leaving the me identification qualified. The only literal mei corpus match is the name Louisa May Alcott and supplies no coldness evidence. The 42 me matches include fragments and editorial labels, alongside actual coldness uses.
