항온동물
Korean
Etymology
Sino-Korean word from 항온(恒溫) (hang'on, “constant temperature”) + 동물(動物) (dongmul, “animal”).
Pronunciation
- (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA(key): [ha̠ŋo̞n to̞(ː)ŋmuɭ]
- Phonetic hangul: [항온 동(ː)물]
- Though still prescriptive in Standard Korean, most speakers in both Koreas no longer distinguish vowel length.
