The things you dream sometimes

[pne]

A few nights ago, I dreamed that I saw a Chinese character which was not only fiendishly complex to write, but had, according to the character dictionary I saw in my dream, the complex Korean pronunciation of

The romanisation of this monstrosity was given simply as “sso”. Transliterating would give something more along the lines of “ssht’ssho”. (That syllable is not possible in real-world Korean.)

My girlfriend (who can't log in since she lost her password :p) appreciates this greatly because she has dreams like that, too.

"Also, wouldn't it be ssot?" (Intro Korean in college)

She knows how she can get her password reset, though, doesn’t she?

"Also, wouldn't it be ssot?"

What’s it here?

The reading of the monstrosity? No, because nothing follows the o. (A final consonant would have to be below it, not to the upper right.)

Or the name of the letter I wrote as ssangsios in the image’s ALT tag? You could write that with a final -t, yes, since that’s how it’s actually pronounced AFAIK.

Or something else?

Yes, I was just too lazy to log in. She kinda lied. Haha.

I wasn't realising that entirety was the opening. Wow. Makes my glottis constrict just looking at it. *wink*

it's sort of hard to understand the transliteration of that beast. I'd say it were:

s'-th-h-s'-h-o

as an alternative.

But yeah, that'd be [i]sso[/i].

Whilst to someone who speaks no Asiatic languages at all, it looks like "memo", which of course is an English word meaning "non-understandable monstrous writing".
