ᄀᆞ슬

Jeju

FWOTD – 21 December 2024

Etymology

From Old Korean 秋察 (*KOsol(h), *KOcol(h)). This reflex preserves the /s/ as found in the Old Korean form and southern Modern Korean dialects, compared to its doublet ᄀᆞ을 (gaweul), which was borrowed directly from Early Modern Korean.^[1] Cognate with Korean 가을 (ga'eul).

Perhaps related to ᄀᆞᆺ다 (gawtda, “to cut”) & ᄀᆞ새 (gawsae, “scissors”).

Pronunciation

(Morphophonemic) IPA^(key): ⫽kɒsɨl⫽
