Phonological notes 
                          1. Syllable-final Consonants (받침): 
                          1) Theoretically, any consonant can be in the 받침 (syllable final) position. In reality, ㄸ, ㅉ, and ㅃ are not used as 받침. 

                          2) Some of the consonants merge into one sound when they are in the syllable-final position. Orthographically, however, they remain different. Summarized as follows: 
                          consonant endings 받침 
ㄱ, ㅋ [k] 각, 부엌 
ㄴ [n] 눈 
ㄷ, ㅅ, ㅈ, ㅊ, ㅌ, ㅎ [t] 낟, 낫, 낮, 낯, 낱, 낳 all pronounced as [ 낟] 
ㄹ [l] 쌀 
ㅁ [m] 봄 
ㅂ, ㅍ [p] 입, 잎 both pronounced as [입]
ㅇ [ng] 영 
                          3) These merged sounds regain their original values when they are followed by a zero-initial syllable (i.e. vowel). 
                          각 + 이 (topic/subject marker) = [가기 kagi] 
                          부엌 + 에 (place marker) = [부어케 puo^k'e] 
                          낮 + 에 (temporal marker) = [나제 naje] 
                          낯 + 에 (place marker) = [나체 nach'e] 
                          입 + 이 (top./sub. marker) = [이비 ibi] 
                          잎 + 이 (top./sub. marker) = [이피 ip'i]
