Korean

Stroke order

Etymology

The traditional account* states that (b) is derived from (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 Tibetanb, 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, (b) is a labial sound with the initial sound like . And when written side by side, it is like the first sound of a . (脣音。如彆字初彂聲 並書。如步字初彂聲).
