Usage notes

  • In fifteenth century Middle Korean, the yang-vowel form 밧다〮 (pàstá) was preferred for physical objects (e.g. to take off one's clothes) and the yin-vowel form 벗다〮 (pèstá) was preferred for abstract objects (e.g. to get rid of / escape from grief or agony). However, this distinction was not strict and was eventually lost by the seventeenth century, with 벗다〮 (pèstá) being used for all objects.
