Scotocercidae

セッカ sekka is used in Japanese for several small warbling birds in the Cisticolidae, Locustellidae, and Phylloscopidae. The etymology is unknown. It is written with the ateji 雪加 (literally 'snow-add') or 雪下 (literally 'snow-below'), characters assigned on the basis of sound only with little or no relation to etymology or meaning.

Бор bor as an adjective means either 'grey, brown, dun', or 'stubborn'. It is used in some bird names as a noun, including names for the nightjars, reed warblers, Reed Parrotbill, and leiothrix. The common thread is unclear, and the meaning likely differs according to the bird, with nightjars possibly being regarded as 'stubborn', and others as being 'small brownish birds'.

The name Сүүллэг süülleg means 'large-tailed', related to the word for 'tail' сүүл süül. The name is clearly based on the Chinese name. However, the spelling of the bird name is differentiated from that for 'large-tailed' through doubling of the 'l'.

Харсуун kharsuuŋ or харсун kharsuŋ is found in the names of birds at the Accipitridae, Strigidae, and Sylviidae. The dictionary meaning is 'coarse', 'crude' (e.g. as used of foodstuffs), but in bird naming it appears to have the meaning 'hawk'.

The name гуждахай gujdakhai is found in our source of 'ornithological names' but is not found in any dictionary. The pronunciation is therefore moot. Juding from the script it should be read gujdakhai, but other pronunciations are possible.

The characters used to write ヤブサメ yabu-same, 藪雨 or 藪鮫, mean 'thicket rain' or 'thicket shark' respectively. The second character in each appears to be used purely for its sound. The character 雨 is normally read ame ('rain'), but may be read -same in combination. The etymology of the name is unknown, although one conjecture is that it means 'be noisy in the thicket', using the verb さめく sameku 'to be noisy'.

The subspecies Cettia canturians borealis is given in the Korean birds list as:
휘파람새
hwiparam-sae
'whistling bird'
