果 (*-kwa)

1. and; with (comitative case marker; attached to multiple connected nouns)
   • c. 1250, Interpretive gugyeol glosses to the Humane King Sutra:

     等^果惠^果灌頂^果叱三品士^隱

     *TUNG-kwa HYEY-kwa KWANTYENG-kwa-s SAMPHWUMSO-n

     As for the three gentlemen of Dengguan and Huiguang and Guanding

     (N.B. Gugyeol glyphs are given in non-abbreviated forms.)

果 follows the grammatical rules of its Middle Korean descendant, which differ from Modern Korean usage. Thus it may be followed by other case markers, such as 叱. Furthermore, in both Old and Middle Korean, "A and B" is expressed as A-kwa B-kwa, instead of Modern Korean A-kwa B.

Unlike in Middle and Modern Korean, 果 did not take any allomorph following a vowel. The Middle Korean allomorph 와 (Yale: -Gwa) was produced by the lenition of Old Korean *k to /ɣ/ between vowels.

• Middle Korean: 과 (-kwa)
  • Korean: 과 (-gwa)
• Middle Korean: 와 (-Gwa) (allomorph following a vowel, produced by intervocalic lenition of *-k)
  • Korean: 와 (-wa)

• 利 (*-li, intimate connective particle)
