Etymology 1
From Old Japanese, from Proto-Japonic *paka. First attested in the Nihon Shoki of 720 CE.[1]
Ultimate derivation unknown. One possibility is that the final ka may be 処 (ka, suffix denoting place), as in the term 住み処 (sumika, “dwelling, home, abode”, literally “living place”).
Pronunciation
Noun
墓 • (haka)
- a grave, a tomb
Derived terms

Korean
Etymology 1
Irregularly shifted from Middle Chinese 墓 (MC muH), perhaps due to confusion with the hanja 廟 (myo, “temple”).

墓 (eumhun 무덤 묘 (mudeom myo))
- hanja form? of 묘 (“grave; tomb”)
- hanja form? of 묘 (“grave; tomb”)
Compounds
Etymology 2
Presumably the original form.
Pronunciation
Hanja
墓 (eumhun 무덤 모 (mudeom mo))
- (Yukjin, Russia) hanja form? of 모 (“grave; tomb”)
Usage notes
- Yukjin speakers still use the orthodox pronunciation in compounds, e.g. 묘디(墓地) (myodi) for 묘지(墓地) (myoji).
- This form appears to have historically been more common throughout the peninsula, as even southern dialects still sporadically have the derived term 못자리 (motjari, “gravesite”).
