‘Akeru’ and ‘hiraku’ share a meaning which is to make a way for men, animals or air to get in or out in a closed space. ‘Akeru’ has a feature of opening in one direction, whereas ‘hiraku’ of opening left and right, in both directions. In the case of windows, therefore, when it is a sliding window ‘akeru’ is used, and when an opening and shutting door ‘hiraku’ is used. From the fundamental motion described above, we can infer that ‘akeru’ indicates a motion opening doors, covers, curtains and etc. and meanings of opening the door of a store for business and of making way for men to pass by.

In the case of ‘mitiwo akeru/hiraku’, the former describes the meaning that a man standing in a way stands aside for other people to pass by, and the latter describes the meaning of opening up a new way.
