Whether the attested Old Korean forms transcribed older or later  is unclear due to the phonological opaqueness of the orthography.

This is an unlikely etymology due to recent developments in the reconstruction of 🇨🇬, where *l- (rather than older reconstructions with *d-) would be a poor match for Mongolic/Tungusic t-, as well as new archaeological evidence suggesting that the word is likely older than previously assumed.
