Etymology 1

First attested in the Hunminjeong'eum haerye (訓民正音解例 / 훈민정음해례), 1446, as Middle Korean 벌〯 (Yale: pěl).

Possibly cognate with Japanese 蜂(はち) (hachi, “bee; wasp”, Old Japanese reading pati).

Pronunciation

  • (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA(key): [pɘ(ː)ɭ]
  • Phonetic hangul: [벌(ː)]
    • Though still prescribed in Standard Korean, most speakers in both Koreas no longer distinguish vowel length.
