As if flying toward the sky
Stretched long at the eaves rafter’s tip,
the wind chime cries
At the eaves’ edge, in the beaded curtain,
the half-moon hides
The spring night,
faintly deepening like a cuckoo’s cry
How lovely, how graceful, truly how beautiful
The fine jeogori’s white collar shines brightly
The twelve-panel long skirt ripples gently
You are a butterfly,
telling the classics of some distant land
Dance softly, as if a butterfly
Lowering my brows……
On this night, I live in the days of old
Closing my eyes, I shall choose the geomungo’s strings
Like a slender willow, matching the melody
I shall wave my white hands
1. 고풍의상: 풍’s ŋ coda meets 의 (null onset, vowel-initial), but ŋ never resyllabifies (the one true exception among codas), so it stays put and 의 starts fresh as a null-onset ㅢ, taking the superscript ʉ+i treatment.
2. Resyllabification: 날 (coda ㄹ) + 을 (vowel-initial, same word) → ㄹ shifts to become the onset of 을.
3. Resyllabification keeps the original consonant: 듯’s coda ㅅ moves onto 이 as-is, and since it now sits before ㅣ, it palatalizes to [ʃ].
4. Resyllabification: 뽑 (coda ㅂ) + 은 (vowel-initial, same word) → ㅂ shifts to become the onset of 은.
5. ㅇ(ŋ) resyllabification exception: 경+이 (vowel-initial, same word), yet ŋ stays in place rather than moving onto 이.
6. Tensification (rule 23): 곱’s coda ㅂ is an obstruent stop, so it tensifies the following plain ㄱ to [k͈] regardless of whether this is a stem+ending context.
7. Two resyllabifications in a row: 반’s ㄴ shifts onto 월 (itself a null-onset w-glide syllable) as its onset, and then 월’s own coda ㄹ shifts again onto 이.
8. Compound tensification (rule 28): 봄+밤 is a modifying compound (resonant coda + plain onset), so 밤’s ㅂ tensifies to [p͈]. Established example word.
9. Resyllabification keeps the original consonant: 깊’s coda ㅍ moves onto 어 as a full aspirated onset, not the neutralized coda form.
10. Resyllabification: 곱 (coda ㅂ) + 아라 (vowel-initial, same word) → ㅂ shifts to become the onset of 아.
11. 밝도: before a consonant, the cluster ㄺ simplifies to ㄱ (rather than the verb-stem-specific ㄹ-keeping pattern), and that ㄱ then tensifies the following plain ㄷ (rule 23) to [t͈].
12. Compound tensification (rule 28): 물+결 is a modifying compound (resonant coda + plain onset), so 결’s ㄱ tensifies to [k͈]. Established example word. 결’s own coda ㄹ then resyllabifies onto 을.
13. No resyllabification across the word boundary: 는 (coda ㄴ) is followed by a space, then 어느 (vowel-initial), but the space blocks it, so ㄴ stays in coda.
14. Null-onset ㅢ: superscript ʉ + i. (This superscript was missing in an earlier pass of this file; corrected here.)
15. No resyllabification across the word boundary: 는 (coda ㄴ) is followed by a space, then 이 (vowel-initial), but the space blocks it.
16. Nasalization: 옛’s coda ㅅ (representative [t]) meets 날’s onset ㄴ and nasalizes to [n], the same pattern as 뗏목 or 왔네. 날’s own coda ㄹ then resyllabifies onto 에.
17. Tensification (rule 24, stem+ending): 감다’s stem-final ㅁ + ending-initial ㄱ (고) tensifies to [k͈], the same mechanism as 안고서.
18. Glide priority: 춰 = [tʃʷʌ], not [tsʷʌ]. A glide always wins the dʒ/tʃ choice, even though 추 alone would fall in the [ts] exception group.
19. Standard Korean Pronunciation Rule 5: 흰 has a consonant onset (ㅎ) before ㅢ, so the vowel simplifies to plain [i].
