Seulum
Latin
Etymology
Borrowed from Korean 서울 (Seoul, literally “capital city”).
Pronunciation

- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [seˈuː.lum], [ˈsɛː.u.lum]
Proper noun
Seū̆lum n sg (genitive Seū̆lī); second declension
- (New Latin) Seoul (the capital city of South Korea)
Declension
Note on vowel length: while the original Korean is short, the accent is kept on the penultimate, which would force the vowel to be lengthened.
