   • 2008 March 15, “アックス・レイダー [Axe Raider]”, in STARTER(スターター) DECK(デッキ), Konami:

     オノを持(も)つ戦(せん)士(し)。片(かた)手(て)でオノを振(ふ)り回(まわ)す攻(こう)撃(げき)はかなり強(つよ)い。

     Ono o motsu senshi. Katate de ono o furimawasu kōgeki wa kanari tsuyoi.

     An axe-wielding warrior. He swings his axe with only one arm, yet he can deal quite some heavy blows.

Attested in the Shinsen Jikyō of circa 898-901 CE, with the man'yōgana spelling 与支.[4] Presumably from Proto-Japonic, but the first attestation in Japanese is too late to precisely reconstruct the vowels. Cognate with Proto-Ryukyuan *yoki.

Despite widespread regional attestations, the lack of pitch accent information in standard Japanese could imply that this word is not used in modern standard Japanese.
