Also this paper describes the meanings of ‘Bach-ta’ and ‘Baspa-ta’ presenting the semantic meanings and the argument features and its selective features of them. ‘Baspa-ta’ is a derivative adjective form of ‘Bach-ta’. In Middle Korean Language, ‘Bach-ta’ takes both meanings ‘hurry’[activity] and ‘no free’[state]. Comparatively, ‘Baspa-ta’ takes meanings as follows: ‘being urgent’[state], ‘no free’[state] and ‘(stream) being rapid’[state]. The ‘hurry’ meaning of ‘Bach-ta’ and the ‘being urgent’ meaning of ‘Baspa-ta’ are related to ‘be shorten timely’. ‘No free’ which both ‘Bach-ta’ and ‘Baspa-ta’ have means ‘have no time to do anything especially’.
