IPA- 강건너 봄이 오듯 (As spring comes across the river)

1st Verse

When will the thin ice
on the river in front melt?

The boat, loaded with cargo,
has come that far through the dawn fog

Embracing an armful of light pink flowers

The hazy light across the water,
the hazy light coming down
over the riverside village

When will the thin ice
on the river in front melt?

The boat, loaded with cargo,
has come that far through the dawn fog

2nd Verse

Once again today,
shall drift like a raft on the river

Birdsong and breeze,
fluttering as water flows

Releasing my spring
in the dark valley of my heart

Radiant silent longing, Silent longing
flows silently

Once again today,
shall drift like a raft on the river

Birdsong and breeze, fluttering as water flows

Fluttering as water flows

1. Resyllabification: 봄 (coda ㅁ) + 이 (vowel-initial, same word) → ㅁ shifts to become the onset of 이.
2. Despite the space, 앞 강 fuses tightly in performance, the same kind of exception as 못 잊어 later in this project: 앞’s stop coda (ㅍ, kept as its own [p] rather than merged into the ㅂ series) meets 강’s plain ㄱ onset as if there were no break, so it tensifies (rule 23) to [k͈] rather than staying plain. This is a specific, confirmed case, not a general rule that every space automatically tensifies across.
3. ㅇ(ŋ) resyllabification exception: 강+에 (vowel-initial, same phrase), yet ŋ does not resyllabify. Unlike every other coda, ŋ always stays in place; this is the one true exception in the system.
4. Three-step chain resyllabification: 살→얼 (ㄹ moves), 얼→음 (ㄹ moves again), 음→은 (ㅁ moves). Only 은’s own ㄴ is left in coda, because a space (언제나) follows.
5. Not lateralization: 풀 (coda ㄹ) + 릴 (onset ㄹ) are two lexical ㄹ’s that happen to sit next to each other, not a ㄴ assimilating to ㄹ, which is what lateralization (유음화) actually refers to.
6. ㅅ→ʃ palatalization (before ㅣ) plus resyllabification: 실’s coda ㄹ shifts onto 은.
7. Resyllabification: 벽 (coda ㄱ) + 안 (vowel-initial, same word) → ㄱ shifts to become the onset of 안.
8. Two separate rules stacked: 쳐 = [tʃʲʌ], not [tsʲʌ], since a glide always wins the dʒ/tʃ choice regardless of base vowel. 왔+네: ㅆ coda (representative [t]) before ㄴ onset nasalizes to [n].
9. Tensification (rule 23): 꽃’s coda (representative [t]) meets plain onset ㄷ → tensifies to [t͈].
10. No resyllabification across the word boundary: 아름 (coda ㅁ) is followed by a space, then 안고서 (vowel-initial), but the space blocks it, so ㅁ stays in coda.
11. Tensification (rule 24, stem+ending): 안다’s stem-final ㄴ + ending-initial ㄱ → tensifies to [k͈]. Different mechanism from note 9 (rule 23): this one is specifically stem+ending, which is also why it tensifies rather than simply voicing.
12. No aspiration merger: 련’s coda ㄴ meets onset ㅎ, but ㄴ is not one of the obstruents (ㄱ/ㄷ/ㅂ/ㅈ) that merge with a following ㅎ, so nothing happens here.
13. Resyllabification keeps the original consonant, not the coda-neutralized one: 빛’s ㅊ moves onto 을 as-is. 을’s own base vowel is ㅡ, which is in the 츠 exception group, so this comes out [ts] rather than [tʃ].
14. Resyllabification: 을 (coda ㄹ) + 에 (vowel-initial, same word) → ㄹ shifts to become the onset of 에.
15. No tensification: 늘’s coda is ㄹ, a liquid/sonorant, not one of the obstruent codas that rule 23 requires, so 도 stays plain. (It also isn’t voiced, since 도 is not this specific verb-stem-plus-ending shape that would call for it either way here; the plain [d] already shown is simply the coda-liquid-plus-plain-stop default.)
16. Nasalization plus a non-event: 뗏 (ㅆ coda, representative [t]) + 목 (ㅁ onset) nasalizes to [n]. Separately, 목 (ㄱ coda) + 처 (ㅊ onset) does not change further, because 처 is already aspirated, not a plain onset.
17. Resyllabification: 골 (coda ㄹ) + 에 (vowel-initial, same word) → ㄹ shifts to become the onset of 에.
18. ㅢ with no consonant before it: superscript ʉ + i.
19. Resyllabification: 풀 (coda ㄹ) + 어 (vowel-initial, same word) → ㄹ shifts to become the onset of 어.
20. ㅎ-deletion, not aspiration: 놓 (coda ㅎ) + 아 (vowel-initial) → ㅎ simply disappears, with no trace left behind (contrast with note 8’s nasalization or note 9’s tensification, where the coda’s effect persists).
21. Full rule chain in one word: 말’s coda ㄹ resyllabifies onto 없; 없’s own coda (from ㅄ) stays in place as [b]; the cluster’s second consonant ㅅ moves onto 이, tensifying to [s͈], and because it now sits before ㅣ, it palatalizes one step further to [ʃ͈].
