General names
Information is based on dictionaries and other sources. Species list may not be current. Korean glosses are only tentative. Comments and corrections welcome.
In Japan, there are three main species of prunellid.
The general term for the accentors is イワヒバリ iwa-hibari or 'rock lark', written 岩雲雀 or 岩鷚 (both meaning 'rock lark') in Chinese characters. Unmarked, the イワヒバリ iwa-hibari refers to Prunella collaris.
Like the Dunnock in English, the Japanese Accentor has its own special name of カヤクグリ kaya-kuguri, written 萱潜 or 茅潜 in characters. The meaning is 'miscanthus wender', giving the impression of a bird winding its way through thickets of kaya or miscanthus grass. While the Japanese Accentor lives in high montane pine forests, the name reflects its habit of wintering in grassy habitats, カヤ kaya in this case being used as a general word for grass.
