ヲヌマン
Ainu「夕」
onumanmedium
Onuman is documented as evening or dusk, directly matching 夕/ヲヌマン. It remains the lexical reading. Onuma tests the ending of the paired シリヲヌマ form; that missing-n spelling has no exact corpus match. The two expressions share a Japanese heading, but sir'onuman describes becoming evening and onuman can name the time itself. Narrative contexts support the evening sense without dating the historical pronunciation.
