The Japanese word for pigeon is ハト hato, written with the Chinese character 鳩. It is glossed here as 'pigeon', although 'dove' could equally be used. In combination with other words, ハト hato becomes バト -bato, e.g. as in アオバト ao-bato 'blue/green pigeon'.
The name of the domesticated pigeon, do-bato literally 'earth pigeon', can be written either 土鳩 'earth pigeon' or with the Chinese character 鴿.
