Usage notes

  • This term was already becoming less used for at least some speakers by the 1580s, when a republished edition of an earlier work revised it to the more familiar loanword 슈고롭다 (syukwo-lwopta), from Chinese 受苦 (MC dzyuwX khuX, “suffer”). On the other hand, it continues to be attested into the late nineteenth century.
  • The irregular conjugation 잇〮분〯 (íspwǔn), with high pitch in the first syllable, is attested in Worin seokbo 22:109a.
