名下
名下 (*ILh-)
This word is attested 104 times across the known Old Korean interpretative gugyeol glosses to the Buddhist canon.
Per Old Korean orthographic convention, the first character is a logogram, giving the meaning of "(to) name", while the second character is a phonogram for the syllable *-ha. The Old Korean orthography gives no clues as to how 名 should be read, as it is used solely for its meaning, but this word is conventionally reconstructed as *ILh-a, the infinitive of the verb stem *ILh- "to name". While its hypothetical Middle Korean descendant *잃다〮 (*ìlh-tá) is unattested, derived forms such as the noun 일홈〮 (ìlhwóm, “name”), originally its gerund form, and the compound verb 일ᄏᆞᆮ다〮 (ìlh-kòt-tá, “to name”, literally “to name and say”) are attested.
This word fell out of use by Middle Korean times, to be replaced by the derivative 일ᄏᆞᆮ다〮 (ìlkhòt-tá).
