뮈다

Middle Korean

Etymology

From earlier *mwùCí-. While the lost consonant cannot be ascertained, the tonal pattern surfaces in conjugated forms, where for instance *Cí- can merge with 어〮 (-é, “infinitive suffix”) to yield 여〮 (yé), resulting in the alternate infinitive form 무여〮 (mwùyé) in contrast to the regular 뮈〯여〮 (mwǔyyé).

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /mujta/

Verb

뮈〯다〮 (mwǔytá) (infinitive 무여〮, sequential 뮈〯니〮)

Conjugation

Note: before non-minimal vowel-initial suffixes, the verbal stem can surface as either 무ㅣ (mwùy-) or as 뮈〯ㅣ (mwǔyy-). Hence the infinitive can be either 무여〮 (mwùyé) or 뮈〯여〮 (mwùyyé), with or without a geminate semivowel. It is the non-geminate forms that are given below.

31=뮈〯아〮
32=mwǔyGá
47=뮈〯ᅀᆞᆸ〯건
48=mwǔyzǒpkèn
51=뮈〯ᅀᆞᆸ〯건〮
52=mwǔyzǒpkén
