둔
- RR: dun [1]
- Sino-Korean 둔 (屯, dun),[2] synonymous[3] to 진 (陣, jin; once 딘, din),[4] is phono-semantically too similar to English dun from Scottish Gaelic dùn to be ignored. What a casual, if not causal, coincidence!
- Topologically, #둔, meaning "hill,"[5] may well compare with #둑, as follows:
- The former is a thinly-topped or obtusely-topping heap or hill, say, dune. It may further compare with English down, town, dun, etc., and with the other Germanic relatives.
- The latter is a thickly-topped or acutely-topping heap or hill, say, dyke. It may further compare with English tight, thigh, dough, etc., and with their Dutch and German (or Yiddish) counterparts.
