Korean

Etymology 1

First attested as Late Old Korean in the Jīlín lèishì (鷄林類事 / 계림유사)[1], 1103. In turn, from an earlier *tworVk on the basis that a placename element alternates with 珍惡 (MC trin 'ak; OC *trə[n] ʔˤak) in the Samguk Sagi. The final velar plosive is also preserved in some Korean dialects (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?).

In the hangul script, first attested in the Seokbo sangjeol (釋譜詳節 / 석보상절), 1447, as Middle Korean 돓〯 (Yale: twǒlh).

Unrelated to Proto-Turkic *tāĺ (cf. Chuvash чул (čul)) and Proto-Mongolic *čïlaxun (cf. Mongolian чулуу (čuluu)).[1]

Pronunciation

  • (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA(key): [to̞(ː)ɭ]
  • Phonetic hangul: [(ː)]
    • Though still prescribed in Standard Korean, most speakers in both Koreas no longer distinguish vowel length.
