돌

First attested as Late Old Korean 突 in the Jīlín lèishì (鷄林類事 / 계림유사), 1103. In turn, from an earlier *tworVk on the basis that a placename element 石 alternates with 珍惡 (MC trin 'ak; OC *trə ʔˤak) in the Samguk Sagi. The final velar plosive is also preserved in some Korean dialects (Can this⁽⁺⁾ etymology be sourced?).

In the hangul script, first attested in the Seokbo sangjeol (釋譜詳節 / 석보상절), 1447, as Middle Korean 돓〯 (Yale: twǒlh).

Unrelated to Proto-Turkic *tāĺ (cf. Chuvash чул (čul)) and Proto-Mongolic *čïlaxun (cf. Mongolian чулуу (čuluu)).

  • Though still prescribed in Standard Korean, most speakers in both Koreas no longer distinguish vowel length.

• South Gyeongsang (Busan) pitch accent: 돌의 / 돌에 / 돌까지
