Etymology 1 edit

First attested in the Yongbi eocheon'ga (龍飛御天歌 / 용비어천가), 1447, as Middle Korean 골〯 (Yale: kwǒl). The rising pitch implies an earlier bisyllabic origin.

Pronunciation edit

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