As 尸 is a phonogram for coda consonant *-l, the form is clearly ancestral to Middle Korean 둟〯 (Yale: twǔlh).
The twelfth-century wordlist Jilin leishi transcribes this word with the Chinese characters 途孛, whose Late Middle Chinese pronunciation is reconstructed as */tɦuo pɦuət̚/. As Leishi */-t̚/ was used to transcribe Old Korean */-l/ or */-r/, the transcription suggests an Old Korean pronunciation of 二尸 as roughly *twupúl. This is supported by the conservative Yukjin dialect form 두울 (twuwúl), which preserves the disyllabic form and where */p/ appears to have disappeared but after labializing the subsequent vowel.
