「影法師」

aynukurimedium
Aynukuri is the documented possessed form of aynukur “human shadow,” and accounts for the source’s final リ more fully than aynukur. Chiri explicitly gives the Japanese gloss 影法師. The ノ/nu correspondence and the intended grammatical form remain qualified: kana alone cannot prove a final vowel. The previous aysukur follows Hirayama’s comparison but lacks the clear aynu “human” correspondence. The sole aynukur corpus hit is a 2014 social post; neither it nor the zero aynukuri count dates this form to the manuscript.
