音叱

Old Korean

Pronunciation

Reconstructed as *-ms, both because 音 and 叱 are well-attested Old Korean phonograms for *m and *s respectively and because of the Middle Korean reflex.

Suffix

音叱 (*-ms)

  1. necessity-marking suffix attached to a verb stem, equivalent to English "it is fitting that..."
