ラインナップ

Japanese

Alternative forms

Etymology

Borrowed from English lineup, with the /n/ in English line carried over to the next syllable (in the alternative form ラインアップ (rain'appu), this does not happen). Also see クリーンナップ (kurīnnappu) and サンノゼ (Sannoze) for other gairaigo like this, and 反応(はんのう) (hannō), 輪廻(りんね) (rinne), and the 三位 (sanmi) in 三位一体(さんみいったい) (sanmi-ittai) for examples of this tendency with earlier Sino-Japanese borrowings, where it is called 連声(れんじょう) (renjō).
