"머리" meaning in All languages combined

See 머리 on Wiktionary

Noun [Korean]

IPA: [mʌ̹ɾi] [SK-Standard, Seoul] Forms: meori [romanization]
Etymology: First attested in the Yongbi eocheon'ga (龍飛御天歌 / 용비어천가), 1447, as Middle Korean 머리〮 (Yale: mèlí). Also attested in the Worin cheon'gangjigok (月印千江之曲 / 월인천강지곡), 1449, as Middle Korean 마리〮 (Yale: màlí). Originally identical to the modern animal classifier 마리 (mari). Beyond Middle Korean, attested in the twelfth-century Jilin leishi word-list as 麻帝 (má dì) *mati, thus a case of intervocalic lenition. Perhaps cognate with Middle Korean ᄆᆞᆮ (mot, “eldest child”), modern 맏이 (maji).
