taru-adjective, adverb taking the 'to' particle
clear and bright (sound); pellucid
A formal, literary term describing a sound that is clear, ringing, and bright, often used in classical poetry or elevated prose. Modern usage is extremely rare.
The sound of the bell rang out clear and bright.
His voice was pellucid, reaching every corner of the hall.
Variant using the repetition mark. Same reading and meaning as 喨喨.
The exact derivation is uncertain. The kanji 喨 is rare and used phonetically to represent a clear ringing sound. The reduplicated form follows a pattern common in literary sound-descriptive words.
