황새

Korean

Etymology

First attested as Late Old Korean 漢賽 in the Jīlín lèishì (鷄林類事 / 계림유사)[1], 1103. In the hangul script, first attested in the Hunmong jahoe (訓蒙字會 / 훈몽자회), 1527, as Middle Korean 한새 (Yale: hansay), 하- (ha-, “big; great”) +‎ -ㄴ (-n) +‎ 새 (say, “bird”). Possibly contaminated by 黃 (hwang, “yellow”). For a similar change, see 황소 (hwangso, “bull”).

Pronunciation

  • (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA(key): [ˈɸwa̠(ː)ŋsʰɛ] ~ [ˈɸwa̠(ː)ŋsʰe̞]
  • Phonetic hangul: [황(ː)새/황(ː)세]
    • Though still prescribed in Standard Korean, most speakers in both Koreas no longer distinguish vowel length.
