손가락
Korean
Etymology
First attested in the Seokbo sangjeol (釋譜詳節 / 석보상절), 1447, as Middle Korean 소ᇇ가락 (Yale: swòn-s-kàlàk).
손 (son, “hand”) + ㅅ (-s-, genitive interfix; omitted from the spelling, but this causes the tense phonation of the following consonant) + 가락 (garak, “strand”)
Pronunciation
- (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA(key): [sʰo̞nk͈a̠ɾa̠k̚]
- Phonetic hangul: [손까락]
