蝦夷方言藻汐草

Sirunkur is supported by Batchelor’s whole expression for a poor or unprincipled person and the NINJAL sirun kur “poor person.” A 2025 Tokachi teaching text also uses the joined spelling. The facsimile preserves the small local heading 乏者 for this form. Its broader derogatory meanings require care; the older explanation “one seated at the end” does not establish a fixed social rank. The dictionary-bot copy repeats the NINJAL wording and adds no independent witness.
