What 멩 means
Read the surrounding Korean word first.
The 2003 Gwangyang dialect survey places 멩 in regional cotton-and-cloth vocabulary; outside that context, do not read cotton into it.
As of 2026, no source checked names a single inventor or earliest standalone use. Korean builds words from syllables like this one; in 돌멩이, 멩이 marks the smaller version.
Neutral in text; regional alone for cotton.
Check the full word before translating isolated 멩.
