자욱

• (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA^(key): [t͡ɕa̠uk̚]
• Phonetic hangul: [자욱]

First attested in the Worin seokbo (月印釋譜 / 월인석보), 1459, as Middle Korean 자곡 (Yale: càkwòk).

This form can be explained with the medial -k- leniting into -G- and then disappearing. However, such a form is not attested in the Middle Korean corpus.

자욱 • (jauk)

1. (see the usage notes) alternative form of 자국 (jaguk)

In South Korea, this form is quite often proscribed, whereas in North Korea, it is considered more elegant and frequently used in literary works like poems and lyrics.

• 발자욱 (baljauk)

자욱 • (jauk)

1. Root of 자욱하다 (jaukhada). Rarely used alone.
