What 벼 means
It means the rice plant or its unhulled grain.
Pronounced byeo, it is one Hangul block made of ㅂ plus ㅕ. The same spelling already appears in the 1446 Hunminjeongeum Haerye examples, so copy it from the palette above when you need the exact syllable.
English says “rice” for everything. Korean splits the stages: 벼 is the growing plant or grain before husking, 쌀 is hulled rice, 밥 is cooked rice. 나락 matches 벼; 볍씨 means seed rice for planting.
Neutral agricultural noun, used literally in Korean.
Do not translate it as cooked rice without checking.
