누우
Korean
Etymology
See 누이 (nu-i) for more. The form must have been produced by the non-Gyeongsang sound shift [bɨ] > [βɨ] > [u] or [bu] > [βu] > [u], which suggests that it may originally have been formed by analogy with, or was borrowed from, a different dialect.
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): [nu˨.u˦]
