Usage notes
삥 (pping) is the yin vowel, or dark vowel, form of 뺑 (ppaeng).
In contemporary Korean, the yin vowels refer to /ʌ/, /e/, /u/, and often /i/. In Korean ideophones and sensory words, forms with these vowels have a connotation of darkness, largeness, murkiness, bluntness, old age, or negativeness.삥 (pping) is the intensive consonant form of 빙 (bing).
In many Korean ideophones and sensory words, forms with consonants which are aspirated or tensed are intensive; they emphasize the degree to which the description is true.
