Etymology

[edit]

First attested in the Neung'eomgyeong eonhae (楞嚴經諺解 / 능엄경언해), 1461, as Middle Korean 품〮다〮 (Yale: phwúm-tá), apparently derived directly from the noun (pum, bosom; embrace). Compare Jeju 쿰다 (kumda, to embrace), which may suggest an ancestral *pk- cluster, i.e. *pkwúm-.

Pronunciation

[edit]
  • (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA(key): [ˈpʰu(ː)mt͈a̠]
  • Phonetic hangul: [(ː)]
    • Though still prescribed in Standard Korean, most speakers in both Koreas no longer distinguish vowel length.
