Usage notes
Middle Korean had two (possibly three) verbs equivalent to Modern or English "to go":, and  /. The latter appears only in compound verbs and before the suffix. Some scholars believe that and  were separate verbs.

It is believed that had a stronger emphasis on the purpose of the movement, while  /  had a stronger emphasis on the physical movement itself. For example, only is attested with a human indirect object (i.e. expressing "to go to a person [for something]"); the indirect objects taken by  /  are all real or metaphorical spaces. However, both could be used to translate the same Chinese verb, showing that the semantic distinction was not so strict.
