ABSTRACT

The poetic words ‘jeunbam’, and ‘jeunmam’ occur in Youngnang’s poem ‘jeya’. In these words, we guess that ‘jeun’ is a pre-noun form of the declinable word ‘jeuda’. However, the word ‘jeuda’ is not common, so its correct meaning is not well understood. Although many people have raised various interpretations of this word, they didn’t refer to the existing interpretations from others. So these interpretations have remained very fragmentary. To explain the meaning of a ‘jeuda’, I investigated the meaning of the Korean standard word ‘kyeoda’ and the dialect word ‘jeuda’. As a result, I found that the ‘jeuda’ as used in literary works is the same as the dialect word ‘jeuda’ and is related with the Korean standard word ‘kyeoda’. To summarize, ‘jeunbam’ means ‘a deep or late night’ and ‘jeunmam’ means ‘an uneasy or troubled mind’.
