Etymology edit

See the main entry. The vowel change to (a) is irregular; Ko Gwang-mo believes it was potentially influenced by a putative suffix *갓 (-*gat-), which would have been the yang-vowel form of the etymologically unrelated Early Modern suffix (-geot-).[1]

Suffix edit

(-gat-)

  1. Pyongan, Hwanghae, and Yukjin form of (-get-, will, intend, probably).
