Middle Korean

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

From Old Korean (*CUS), attested together with a nominative case marker as 皃史 (*CUs-i) in Ujeok-ga and Mojukjirang-ga and also in Idu texts. The nature of Old Korean orthography, where only the final coda consonant of a noun is written phonetically, means that the only thing that can said about the Old Korean form is that its coda consonant was *-s.
