What 닼 means
By itself, 닼 is not the standard Korean word for “chicken.”
닼 combines consonants ㄷ and ㅋ with vowel ㅏ in one Hangul block. Hangul was devised in 1443 and explained in 1446; Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal adapted Chinese characters for Korean.
The 1986 study cites 닼을 as a regional inflection of 닭. In Korean, 을 marks a noun as the object of an action.
