Reconstruction notes
Middle Korean merged Old Korean *r and *l unconditionally, and it is not always easy to determine the Old Korean phoneme based on the Middle Korean reflex. Old Korean reconstructions are conventionally given in the Yale Romanization of Korean, which makes only those phonemic distinctions also made in Middle Korean. However, Alexander Vovin gives circumstantial evidence that the syllable being transcribed by is  with a rhotic consonant. He also speculates that a name of a Baekje ambassador to the Yamato court called Nuri (努理) is not impossible to connect to this world.
