Etymology

First attested in the Seokbo sangjeol (釋譜詳節 / 석보상절), 1447, as Middle Korean 사오〮납다〮 (Yale: sàwónàp-tá).

Beyond Middle Korean, related to northern Gyeongsang 사모랍다 (samorapda, to be brutish, to be malicious), attested since the eighteenth century, and to southern Gyeongsang and Jeolla 상그랍다 (sanggeurapda, to be difficult, to be dangerous).

Pronunciation

  • (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA(key): [ˈsʰa̠(ː)na̠p̚t͈a̠]
  • Phonetic hangul: [(ː)]
    • Though still prescribed in Standard Korean, most speakers in both Koreas no longer distinguish vowel length.
