Cognate with 階 (hashi, “stairs from a garden up to the house”), both cognate with root hasa indicating the narrow area between two things, as in 狭間 (“narrow gap between two things”, classical hasama, modern hazama) or 挟む (hasamu, “to put between two things that are close together, to squeeze between two things”).[1] Cognate also with root hoso indicating the narrowness of a thing itself, as in 細い (hosoi, “narrow, slender”), 細める (hosomeru, “to narrow something, to make something narrow”).
