minus-squarePhoenix3875@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·edit-21 month agoTsunami つなみ 津波 is composed of tsu つ 津, wharf, a place to park boats nami なみ 波, tide, wave So it’s high waves from a wharf. It’s not a tide since having a tsunami every month would be devastating… See https://gogen-yurai.jp/tsunami/
