오소리
Korean
Etymology
First attested in the Saseongtonghae (四聲通解 / 사성통해), 1517, as Middle Korean 오ᅀᆞ리 (Yale: wòzòlì), however the tones are dubious.
Also attested in the Hunmong jahoe (訓蒙字會 / 훈몽자회), 1527, as Middle Korean 오ᅀᆞ〮리〮 (Yale: wòzólí).
In Early Modern Korean, forms with ㅅ (s) start to appear, which is likely borrowed from a dialect which didn't undergo lenition from ㅅ (s) to ㅿ (z). The second vowel is likely due to assimilation.
Additionally compare Middle Korean 우슭 (wusulk) and dialectal Korean 우슬기 (useulgi), 으슬기 (euseulgi).
