Worth knowing

  • In a 2026 word-chain analysis, 릇 was a dead end: 그릇, 버릇 and 노릇 end with it, and the list had no word beginning with 릇.
  • Hangul was devised in 1443; 훈민정음, its explanatory text, appeared in 1446. Before Hangul, Korean writing used Chinese characters in methods including 이두, 향찰 and 구결; “Hangeul” became the usual name in the early 20th century.
