즛

Middle Korean

Etymology

From Old Korean 皃 *CUS, attested together with a nominative case marker as 皃史 *CUs-i in Ujeok-ga and Mojukjirang-ga and also in Idu texts. The nature of Old Korean orthography, where only the final coda consonant of a noun is written phonetically, means that the only thing that can said about the Old Korean form is that its coda consonant was *-s.
