ABSTRACT

In this paper a transcription of the name of a Jurchen chieftain is discussed. All proper names of the Jurchens including personal names are recorded in Chinese characters in the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty. Most of them are written using sound of the Chinese characters. But the name of one chieftain was written using semantic value of the Chinese characters. At the first time his identity was confusing to Korean as his name was called differently. Among these names there were 何叱耳 <ha-jil-i>. These Chinese characters represents ‘hashu¯’, the meaning of which is “left handed” in Jurchen(Manchu).
