모자라다

Korean

Etymology

First attested in the Worin seokbo (月印釋譜 / 월인석보), 1459, as Middle Korean 모ᄌᆞ라다 (Yale: mwocolata). Probably a compound of Middle Korean 몯 (Yale: mwot) (modern 못 (mot)) and ᄌᆞ라다 (Yale: colata) (modern 자라다 (jarada)).

Pronunciation

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