Etymology 2

edit良 (*-a)
- The verbal and adjectival infinitive suffix.
Descendants
editEtymology 3
editParticle
edit良 (*-a)
- in; at; on; locative case marker, attested primarily in hyangga poems
- c. 750, 月明師 (Wolmyeongsa), “祭亡妹歌 (Jemangmae-ga)”, in 三國遺事 (Samguk Yusa) [Memorabilia of the Three Kingdoms]:
- 一等隱枝良出古
- *HAton KACI-a NA-kwo
- even though they sprout on a single branch
Usage notes
edit- First-millennium Old Korean also featured the locative particle 中 (*-kuy). The two particles were compounded as 良中 (*-a-kuy) as early as the seventh century. The compounded form becomes predominant in the corpus after the eleventh century, after which 良 (*-a) in isolation is not encountered. The compounded form eventually fused into a single morpheme, becoming the Middle Korean locative particle 에〮/애〮 (-éy/áy).
- After the fourteenth century, Korean scribes occasionally reused the character 良 to write 에〮/애〮 (-éy/áy). This is a feature of Middle Korean writing, not Old Korean.
