Korean

Etymology

Sino-Korean word from 항온(恒溫) (hang'on, “constant temperature”) + 동물(動物) (dongmul, “animal”).

Pronunciation

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