벌집

Korean

Etymology

벌 (beol, “bee”) +‎ ㅅ (-s-, genitive interfix; omitted from the spelling, but this causes the tense phonation of the following consonant) +‎ 집 (jip, “house”).

Pronunciation

(SK Standard/Seoul) IPA^(key): [ˈpɘ(ː)ʎt͡ɕ͈ip̚]
Phonetic hangul: [벌(ː)찝]
- Though still prescribed in Standard Korean, most speakers in both Koreas no longer distinguish vowel length.
