Korean

Etymology 1

edit
 
내 (nae, “stream”)

First attested as eighth-century Old Korean 川理 (*NAri); the Old Korean form is also given directly in Dongdong, an archaic poem in the 1493 collection Akhak gwebeom (樂學軌範 / 악학궤범), as 나리 (Yale: nali).

In the hangul script, first attested in the Yongbi eocheon'ga (龍飛御天歌 / 용비어천가), 1447, as Middle Korean 냏〯 (Yale: nǎyh).

Pronunciation

edit
  • (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA(key): [nɛ(ː)] ~ [ne̞(ː)]
  • Phonetic hangul: [내(ː)/네(ː)]
    • Though still prescribed in Standard Korean, most speakers in both Koreas no longer distinguish vowel length.

Etymology 3

edit

From Middle Korean 내〮 (ná-y).

Equivalent to a contraction of 나 (na, “I; me”, plain first-person pronoun) +‎ 이 (-i, nominative particle). When the 가 (-ga) allomorph of the nominative particle was introduced, it was attached to the already marked form of 나 (na), producing this new allomorphy. This doubly nominative-marked form was first attested in the Ineo daebang (隣語大方 / 인어대방), a 1790 Korean–Japanese textbook (Lee and Ramsey 2011, p. 273).
