Tag: 내 맘의 강물 IPA

Though countless days have gone away,
the river of my heart flows endlessly
Though that day and time are gone now,
the river of my heart flows endlessly

The deep blue sky far away,
the clouds drift softly away
Harsh storm and frost,
though every trace gone by
still hurts my heart

Beautiful pearls formed one by one,
gleaming, ever more bright
Though that day and time are gone now,
the river of my heart flows endlessly

Refrain

The deep blue sky far away,
the clouds drift softly away
Harsh storm and frost,
though every trace gone by
still hurts my heart

Beautiful pearls formed one by one,
gleaming, ever more bright
Though that day and time are gone now,
the river of my heart flows endlessly

Flows endlessly

1. 맘의: 맘’s coda ㅁ resyllabifies onto 의 as its onset, marked with ͜ like any resyllabification. The ㅢ itself still keeps the full superscript ʉ+i treatment rather than simplifying to plain [i]; the consonant-onset-simplifies-to-[i] rule is understood to apply to syllables lexically spelled with a consonant before ㅢ (like 희), not to a onset arriving via resyllabification.
2. 많은: the ㅎ of the cluster ㄶ drops before the vowel-initial ending, leaving ㄴ to resyllabify onto 은 as its onset, giving the well-known [마는] reading rather than a literal two-consonant transfer.
3. 맺힌: ㅈ+ㅎ fully merge with no residual coda (the ㅈ-specific exception to the aspiration pattern), giving [tʃi_n].
4. ㅇ(ŋ) resyllabification exception: 롱+아 (vowel-initial, same word) yet ŋ does not move onto 아; it stays in place, matching every other ŋ case in this project.
5. Nasalization: 빛’s coda (representative [t]) meets 나’s onset ㄴ and nasalizes to [n], the same pattern as 뗏목 or 왔네.
6. 뭇’s coda is the [t] representative of ㅅ, and 하’s onset is ㅎ, following the same pattern already established for ㄱ/ㄷ/ㅂ/ㅈ codas meeting a following ㅎ: the coda keeps its own subscript marker and the next onset aspirates, giving [tɑ] rather than a separate [h].
7. Tensification: 있을게’s -을게 is a fused sentence-final ending (“I will…”), not the adnominal -을 modifying a following noun. Confirmed tensified, the same pattern as “할게” → [할께]: [k͈e], not plain [ɡe].
