ㅴ

• IPA^(key): /psk/

ㅴ (psk)

1. A trigraph of ㅂ (p), ㅅ (s), and ㄱ (k).

• This unusual consonant cluster appears word-initially, usually in words relating to breaking such as ᄢᅢ다〮 (pskàytá, “to shatter”).
• These words were derived from *posok-, the ancestral form of the verb ᄇᆞᅀᆞ (pozo-, “to break, to shatter”) (> modern 부수다 (busuda)), via the dropping of the minimal vowel o. See Lee and Ramsey, 2011.
