godan verb (-ru), transitive verb
Traditional agricultural term for separating grain from chaff by wind or a winnowing basket. Rare in everyday conversation; mostly encountered in historical or farming contexts.
昔は箕で米をひったものだ。
In the old days, people used to winnow rice with a winnowing basket.
The historical derivation is uncertain. The kanji 簸 is a rare character associated with winnowing, but the verb itself is native Japanese.
