editEtymology
editFirst attested in the Hunminjeong'eum haerye (訓民正音解例 / 훈민정음해례), 1446, as Middle Korean 글〮 (Yale: kúl), presumably from Old Korean 文尸 (*KUl), a form attested in sixth-century personal names. Further back, the first element of one (pseudo-)Goguryeo place name in central Korea is written both as 斤尸 (*kul) and as Chinese 文 (“writing”).
Pronunciation
edit- (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA(key): [kɯɭ]
Audio: (file)
- Phonetic hangul: [글]
