Etymology 1

First attested in the Yongbi eocheon'ga (龍飛御天歌 / 용비어천가), 1447, as Middle Korean 드릏〮 (Yale: tùlúh), and subsequently as 듫〯 (Yale: tǔlh), the contracted form.

Pronunciation
  • (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA(key): [tɯ(ː)ɭ]
  • Phonetic hangul: [들(ː)]
    • Though still prescribed in Standard Korean, most speakers in both Koreas no longer distinguish vowel length.
Romanizations
Revised Romanization?deul
Revised Romanization (translit.)?deul
McCune–Reischauer?tŭl

  • South Gyeongsang (Busan) pitch accent: 들의 / 들에 / 들까지
