Criticism
(Secondary research)
wikt: Reconstruction:Proto-Korean/patak
Etymology
Alexander Vovin suggests that this is a loan from Old Japanese 海 (wata, “sea; ocean”).

The above reads that Proto-Korean for "sea" may be a loan from Old Japanese. This hypothesis may be well falsified by checking up how thickly both words for "sea" are related to other terms respectively in reality, as per mass comparison as it were. For Korean, see the Relatives and Comparatives above.

Synonyms
Comparatives
  • Majesty
    The common majesty is "the quality of being impressive and great." What could physically justify the royal Majesty? It may be especially when His/Her Majesty leads the great noble crowd. Likewise is the case with the Korean counterpart, which is a metonym from Korean 버텅 (beoteong, "stepstone" + 아래 (arae, "the lower part"), possibly a calque from Sino-Korean 폐하 (pyaeha) from Chinese 陛下, all suggesting the noble gathering below the royal stepstone. As such, great nobility, east and west, must act as a measure, metaphor and/or metonym for great royalty and/or majesty.
