황새
Korean edit
Etymology edit
First attested in the Hunmong jahoe (訓蒙字會 / 훈몽자회), 1527, as Middle Korean 한새 (Yale: hansay).
From 하— (ha-, “big; great”, obsolete) + —ㄴ (-n) + 새 (sae, “bird”), and possibly contaminated by 黃 (hwang, “yellow”). For a similar change, see 황소 (hwangso, “bull”).
Pronunciation edit
- (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA(key): [ˈɸwa̠(ː)ŋsʰɛ] ~ [ˈɸwa̠(ː)ŋsʰe̞]
- Phonetic hangul: [황(ː)새/황(ː)세]
- Though still prescribed in Standard Korean, most speakers in both Koreas no longer distinguish vowel length.
