Reconstruction notes
Generally reconstructed as *-kwo, because the Old Korean suffix corresponds exactly to the Middle (and Modern) Korean verbal suffix and because fifteenth-century idu texts use  to transcribe what by this point is clearly Middle Korean. However, it is difficult to explain what sound shifts could have produced Middle Korean [ko] out of an Old Korean morpheme whose phonetic value was presumably similar to Old Chinese, Middle Chinese.
