지붕케

Korean

Etymology

Appears to preserve the final coda of Old Korean 上只 (*WUk, “above”), but the aspiration is not expected—perhaps due to influence from the coda of Middle Korean 집웋 (cipwuh, “roof”).

Noun

지붕케 • (jibungke)

1. (Gyeongsang, dated) locative of 지붕 (jibung, “roof”): at the roof

   Synonym: (Standard Korean) 지붕에 (jibung-e)
