First attested in the Bullyu dugongbu si eonhae (分類杜工部詩諺解 / 분류두공부시언해), 1481, as Middle Korean 누러ᄒᆞ다 (Yale: nwulehota). Originally the 하— (ha-) form of 누르— (nureu-).

Pronunciation edit

  • (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA(key): [ˈnu(ː)ɾʌ̹tʰa̠]
  • Phonetic hangul: [(ː)]
    • Though still prescribed in Standard Korean, most speakers in both Koreas no longer distinguish vowel length.
