Usage notes

• This unusual consonant cluster appears word-initially, usually in words relating to breaking such as ᄢᅢ다〮 (pskàytá, “to shatter”).
• These words were derived from *posok-, the ancestral form of the verb ᄇᆞᅀᆞ (pozo-, “to break, to shatter”) (> modern 부수다 (busuda)), via the dropping of the minimal vowel o. See Lee and Ramsey, 2011.
