唾

1. saliva

3. to spit at; to spit with contempt
4. to vomit

(common “Jōyō” kanji)

• Go-on: た (ta)
• Kan-on: た (ta)
• Kan’yō-on: だ (da, Jōyō)
• Kun: つばき (tsubaki, 唾); つば (tsuba, 唾, Jōyō); つ (tsu, 唾)

Derived as the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “continuative or stem form”) of now-obsolete verb 唾吐く (tsubaku, “to spit, to expectorate”), itself from 唾 (tsu, “saliva”) + 吐く (haku, “to expel from the mouth: to spit, to vomit, to exhale”).[1][2]

唾 (hiragana つばき, rōmaji tsubaki)
