Usage notes
edit- The spelling uses the letter ㅅ (s) as the "tense s", Korean 된시옷 (doensiot), representing the tensing of the other consonant. Tense consonants were usually written with the "tense s" in Early Modern Korean. The "tense s" spelling was common into the early twentieth century until it was deprecated in the major spelling reforms of the 1930s.
