Pronunciation
editSuffix
edit오〮 (-Gwó)
- Lenited allomorphic form of 고〮 (-kwó, verbal connective suffix) (in certain voiced environments)
Usage notes
edit- This allomorph only occurs after coda liquid /-l/, a falling diphthong, the copula 이 (i-), or the passivizing auxiliary 디 (ti-). The velar stop is preserved before all other vowels.[1]

Pronunciation
editParticle
edit오〮 (-(G)wó)
- Lenited allomorphic form of 고〮 (-kwo, non-polar interrogative marker) (in certain voiced environments)
Usage notes
edit- This allomorph is obligatory after /-j/, /-i/, or /-l/ (note that the irrealis suffix /-lQ/ is excluded here). It sometimes appears before other vowels as well.[1]
- It was sometimes pronounced as /-ɣo/ and sometimes as /-o/, as can be perceived from orthographic variation between e.g. ᄒᆞ리〮오〮 (hò-lí-Gwó) and ᄒᆞ료〮 (hò-ly-wó).
