köken: From Middle High German vlōz n, m, from Old High German flōz n, ultimately from the root of fließen (“to flow”). Compare Dutch vlot (“raft”), a related but different formation.
köken: From the feminine past participle of armar, corresponding to Medieval Latin armāta, from the feminine perfect passive participle of Latin armāre, from arma (“arms”).
筏, 桴, 栰: a raft · 筏, 桴, 栰: a raft armor · 筏, 桴, 栰: a 家紋 (kamon, “family crest”) shaped like a raft
köken: From Old Japanese. Found in the Man'yōshū, completed some time after 759 CE. Appears to be a compound. One proposed derivation might be from 厳し (ikashi, stem of Old Japanese adjective ikashi, “grand, large”) + 板 (ita, “board”), with ikashi ita shifting to ika ita and then ikada.
