トノ
Ainu「武士」
tonomedium
The Japanese loan tono denotes a lord, official, patron, or respectful address to a Wajin man. It can fit the source’s 武士, but its documented range is wider than a fixed warrior class. Batchelor’s separate daylight entry and Tamura’s uncertain song refrain are excluded as proof of this title. Corpus frequency cannot by itself distinguish these uses.
