방귀

Korean[edit]

First attested in the Seokbo sangjeol (釋譜詳節 / 석보상절), 1447, as Middle Korean 바ᇰ〯긔〮 (Yale: pǎngkúy).

Nativisation of the Sino-Korean term 방기 (放氣, banggi, “releasing gas”). Possibly influenced by 뀌— (kkwi-, “to break, to release (wind)”).

(SK Standard/Seoul) IPA^(key): [ˈpa̠(ː)ŋɡɥi] ~ [ˈpa̠(ː)ŋɡy]
Phonetic hangul: [방(ː)귀]
- Though still prescribed in Standard Korean, most speakers in both Koreas no longer distinguish vowel length.
