Omoyai

Do you know the word "Omoyai"? This is a provincialism in Kyushu, and it means "share". Murakami Ryu, who is a famous novelist writes about it in his book. My gland mother uses this word such as "I have only one, so please omoyai by your sister and you." Originally, Omoyai was used as "painter", it is a rope that corrects ship and ship.
I like this word because it sounds very kindly. The Kumamotoben is often said that it sounds be angry. However, omoyai has a gentle ring. I think we have to keep this word to the future. How about you?
