Suffix

IPA: /kə/ Forms: 거 [canonical], -ke- [alternative]
Etymology: From Old Korean 去 (*-ke). Etymology templates: {{inh|okm|oko|去|tr=*-ke}} Old Korean 去 (*-ke) Head templates: {{head|okm|suffix|tr=-ke-}} 거 (-ke-)
  1. A very common verbal suffix in fifteenth-century Middle Korean. The meaning of this term is uncertain. There are two main competing hypotheses, and it is also possible that both hypotheses were simultaneously true in some capacity:
    A perfective aspect marker, regarding the action of the verb as having completed (either from the perspective of the present, or from some future vantage point). An important argument is that it is commonly used to translate Mandarin 了 (le); another is that it fits the same paradigmal slot as the imperfective 더〮 (-té).

For example, 닷〮 (-tás-), which is used when the speaker has made a realization about some past state, comes from a merger of the imperfective 더〮 and the emotive morpheme ㅅ. It is more appropriate to consider such suffixes as single-unit morphemes that belong to the slot for emotive suffixes (-s-), even if they also convey other information. They cause issues in the paradigmal order if they are broken down into their etymological constituents. And while the retrospective and confirmative suffixes share a slot and are hence mutually exclusive, 닷〮 has been attested as co-occurring with the latter (-tás-), 2 In the fifteenth century, only after Slot 7 is filled by the emotive suffix 돗〮 (-twós-), forming the sequence 돗〮더〮 (-twós-té-), used to emotively convey a realization made in the past. In the sixteenth century, also appears after prospective 으〮리〮 (-úlí/olí-), ᄋᆞ〮리〮 (-úlí/olí-), forming the sequence 으〮리〮러〮 (-úlí-lé/ólí-lé), ᄋᆞ〮리〮러〮 (-úlí-lé/ólí-lé), used to convey a past state when something was about to happen, 3 Taken when Slot 7 is filled (alt: emotive), Certain suffixes are mutually exclusive
