Seulum

Latin

Etymology

Borrowed from Korean 서울 (Seoul, literally “capital city”).

Pronunciation

(Classical) IPA^(key): /seˈuː.lum/, [s̠eˈuːɫ̪ʊ̃ˑ] or IPA^(key): /ˈse.u.lum/, [ˈs̠eʊɫ̪ʊ̃ˑ]

(modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /seˈu.lum/, [seˈuːlum] or IPA^(key): /ˈse.u.lum/, [ˈsɛːulum]

Proper noun

Seū̆lum n sg (genitive Seū̆lī); second declension

(New Latin) Seoul (the capital city of South Korea)

Declension

Note on vowel length: while the original Korean is short, the accent is kept on the penultimate, which would force the vowel to be lengthened. Second-declension noun (neuter), with locative, singular only.
