Korean

Etymology

First attested as Old Korean 舊理 (*NYE(l/r)i).

From Middle Korean 녯〯 (Yale: nyěy-s), from 녜〯 (Yale: nyěy, “old times”) + -ㅅ (Yale: -s, genitive marker).

Pronunciation

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