-갓-

See also: 갓

Korean

Etymology

See the main entry. The vowel change to ㅏ (a) is irregular; Ko Gwang-mo believes it was potentially influenced by a putative suffix *갓 (-*gat-), which would have been the yang-vowel form of the etymologically unrelated Early Modern suffix 것 (-geot-).[1]

Suffix

갓 • (-gat-)

  1. Pyongan, Hwanghae, and Yukjin form of 겠 (-get-, “will, intend, probably”).
