On ち ( chi ) 、とぅ ( tu ) Originally a compound of宮 ( mi1 ya ,“ palace ” ) and an uncertainこ ( ko1 ) referring to aplace .
Theko is possibly処 ( ko2 ,affix indicatinglocation ) , according to most dictionaries. However, poems in theMan'yōshū ⟨ko1 ⟩ instead of⟨ko2 ⟩ . There has likely been a vowel assimilation; it accounts for a form of this affixく ( ku ,place ) (e.g.いづく ( iduku ,“ where ” ) )(this (+ ) etymology besourced ?) . Alternatively, theko might be from子 ( -ko1 ,diminutive suffix ) , as someMan'yōshū poems use the宮子 reading. 都 (mi1 yako1 ) (kana みやこ
