외온동물

Korean

Etymology

Sino-Korean word from 외온(外溫) (oe'on, “ecto-”) + 동물(動物) (dongmul, “animal”).

Pronunciation

• (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA^(key): [ˈwe̞(ː)o̞n to̞(ː)ŋmuɭ] ~ [ˈø̞(ː)o̞n to̞(ː)ŋmuɭ]
• Phonetic hangul: [웨(ː)온 동(ː)물/외(ː)온 동(ː)물]
  • Though still prescribed in Standard Korean, most speakers in both Koreas no longer distinguish vowel length.
