품다

Korean

Etymology

First attested in the Neung'eomgyeong eonhae (楞嚴經諺解 / 능엄경언해), 1461, as Middle Korean 품〮다〮 (Yale: phwúm-tá), apparently derived directly from the noun 품 (pum, “bosom; embrace”). Compare Jeju 쿰다 (kumda, “to embrace”), which may suggest an ancestral *pk- cluster, i.e. *pkwúm-.

Pronunciation

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