In the haiku from Bashō,

> おもしろき
>
> 秋の朝寝や
>
> 亭主ぶり

The last line, 亭主ぶり, is translated as "kind host" by one source. Does ぶり
actually mean "kind" in this context?

question
words meaning
what does buri mean?
Adjectives come before the noun, so "ぶり" could not mean "kind" in this
context. Some other possible translations are:

  * According to http://nihongo.j-talk.com/, "ぶり" translates to a species of butterfly.
  * "-ぶり" is also a suffix meaning way, attitude, or manner, so "亭主ぶり" could mean "husband-like manner", or "host-like manner".
