Usage notes

  • First-millennium Old Korean also featured the locative particles 良 (*-a) and 中 (*-kuy). The two particles were compounded as 良中 (*-a-kuy) as early as the seventh century. The compounded form becomes predominant in the corpus after the eleventh century, after which the previous forms are rarely encountered in isolation. The compounded form eventually fused into a single morpheme, becoming the Middle Korean locative particle 애 (Yale: -ay). See also Middle Korean 良中.
