Korean

Glyph origin

Ideogrammic compound (會意) : semantic 辵 (“walking”) + semantic 守 (“defend”). After the character fell out of regular use, it was reinterpreted as a phono-semantic compound (形聲), whence the modern reading.

The original reading is not known.

Pronunciation

(SK Standard/Seoul) IPA^(key): [sʰu]
Phonetic hangul: [수]

Hanja

䢘 (eumhun 땅 이름 수 (ttang ireum su))

This term is used in Korean place names from the first millennium and has also been attested in wooden tablets from the same period, where it apparently intervenes between the name of a gate or building and a personal name. The meaning of this term is uncertain. Possibilities include:
1. guard, gatekeeper
