Etymology
The traditional account* states that ㅂ (b) is derived from ㅁ (m) by the addition of a stroke (ㅁ而ㅂ […] 其因聲加畫). However, Gari Ledyard proposes instead that ㅂ b is borrowed from Phagspa b, ultimately from Tibetan བ b, and that it is ㅁ m which is derived by the removal of the top of ㅂ b. Also, according to 훈민정음 / 訓民正音, ㅂ (b) is a labial sound with the initial sound like 彆. And when written side by side, it is like the first sound of a 步. (脣音。如彆字初彂聲 並書。如步字初彂聲).
