Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ 슈룹〮 (Yale: syùlwúp), pronounced as /sjù.lúp/
    The native title is a Middle Korean word for "umbrella", first attested in Hunminjeong-eum haerye in 1446. The middle dot before the second syllable (in 룹〮) indicates a high pitch contour, while the unmarked first syllable is pronounced with a low pitch contour.[6]
