at least 4 is not mul smile emoticon
i can't bother tracking vowel length in korean
it's not phonemic for me

well you told me it is a few days ago grin emoticon
it isn't phonemic for many, many people
so vowel length just disappears

could it cause a tone split?

as in Cuatham, but a different one
let's make the long vowels high or rising tones

so high, mid, low and rising

low could be falling
low < breathy
as in cuatham

high, mid, falling, rising

yes

mid could be slightly mid falling

falling = high falling

so it's like upside down Mandarin

or maybe not

vowel length should just disappear
ham, djə̤-S, njək, mu, sje̤, tʰwəm, hwɨt, ljə̤t, pʰjə̤p, kjə-S

t->ɭ
yes
l- > ɾ-

yes
ham, djə̤-S, njək, mu, sje̤, tʰwəm, hwɨɭ, ɾjə̤ɭ, pʰjə̤p, kjə-S

wɨ?

is that a korean diphthong?
that should become something else
as it's not a korean diphthong

a
or wa

grin emoticon
what about wɨ > ə or wə?

wɨ -> we

휄
nope
e + any final doesn't sound sino-korean
wɨ > o?

홃
ham, djə̤-S, njək, mu, sje̤, tʰwəm, hoɭ, ɾjə̤ɭ, pʰjə̤p, kjə-S

no, that's 7

8 should be 렯
final ㅂ = breathy tone?

it could be one way
that wouldn't work tho
for open syllables
some more initial simplification

it's normally h but 렯 for 8 is an exception
hahaha
I see what you did there
여덟
tj-, !j-, sj > tɕ-, |-, s-
ham, dʑə̤-S, njək, mu, se̤, tʰwəm, hoɭ, ɾjə̤ɭ, pʰjə̤p, kjə-S
kjə doesn't looks sino-korean
kje? ki? ka?

껴

what about khjə?
nââââeeeuw

why?
idea: schnueher could be the sino-korean jokelang
that has all the missing syllables that should be there

켜다 • (kyeoda) (infinitive 켜어, sequential 켜니)
(…을) To light an oil lamp or candle; strike a match or lighter [quotations ▼]
(…을) To turn something on [quotations ▼]
but it's not sino
that's why
yeo, nyeo, ryeo, jeo, cheo are sino
not byeo or gyeo
maybe I should palatalize kj
nope
i need things like gye
and gyo (as in hakgyo 'school')

that's not schnueher tongue emoticon
what about
ham, dʑə̤-S, njək, mu, se̤, tʰwəm, hoɭ, ɾjə̤ɭ, pʰjə̤p, kə-S

yes
tʰwəm doesn't sound sino-korean either
what do you mean 퉘

thəm?
what about wə > wa first

thwam
then what about 권 as in 태권도
but under that assumption
ham, dʑə̤-S, njək, mu, se̤, tʰwam, hoɭ, ɾjə̤ɭ, pʰjə̤p, kə-S

use quell
syllables that are -wol, -won in sino-korean are things like -jwet, -jwen in middle chinese

anyway
then wa > a after labials and coronals
ham, dʑə̤-S, njək, mu, se̤, tʰam, hoɭ, ɾjə̤ɭ, pʰjə̤p, kə-S

isn't it a giblang so you can use nonexistent syllables?
ham, dʑə̤-S, njək, mu, se̤, tʰam, hoɭ, ɾjə̤ɭ, pʰjə̤p, kə-S
ham, dʑə̤-S, njək, mu, se̤, tʰam, hoɭ, ɾjə̤ɭ, pʰjə̤p, gə-S
함, 저, 녁, 무, 세, 탐, 홀, 렬, 볍 (not in sino-korean), 거
