- the obsolete Korean consonant ㅿ.
Usage notes
The Hunmin Jeongeum defines the sound written by ㅿ as a "semi-incisor sound" found as the initial consonant of the Sino-Korean reading of the Chinese character 穰. It is conventionally reconstructed as /z/, both because it behaves as a voiced counterpart to /s/ in Middle Korean morphophonology and because this is the form indicated by dialectal reconstruction. Most instances of ㅿ have been deleted in modern Korean.[1]
In Middle Sino-Korean, ㅿ corresponds to Middle Chinese /ȵ/ (the 日 initials). Due to the deletion of ㅿ mentioned above, all Sino-Korean readings with ㅿ now have null initials.[2] Sino-Korean readings originally with ㅿ include: 日, 人, 弱, 穰, 兒, 入, 如, 潤, 容, 扔, 熱, 若, 軟, 銳, 壤, 䓴, 葇, 儒, 緌, 袵, 橈, 刃, 絍, 撋, 汝, 二, 貳, 邇, 栭, 栮, 餌, 珥 and 輀.
