## Korean
### Etymology 1

Irregularly shifted from Middle Chinese 墓 (MC muH), perhaps due to confusion with the hanja 廟 (myo, “temple”).
Historical Readings :
| Dongguk Jeongun Reading |||
| Dongguk Jeongun, 1448 | 몽〮 (Yale: mwó) | 몽〮 (Yale: mwó) |
| Middle Korean |||
| Text | Eumhun | Eumhun |
| Text | Gloss (hun) | Reading |
| Hunmong Jahoe, 1527 | 무덤〮 (Yale: mwùtém) | 묘〯 (Yale: mywǒ) |
| Sinjeung Yuhap, 1576 | 분묘 (Yale: pwunmywo) | 묘 (Yale: mywo) |

#### Pronunciation

* (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA: [mjo(ː)]
* Phonetic hangul: [묘(ː)]
** Though still prescribed in Standard Korean, most speakers in both Koreas no longer distinguish vowel length.

#### Hanja

Wikisource 墓 (eumhun 무덤 묘 (mudeom myo))
* hanja form of 묘 (“grave; tomb”) [noun]
* hanja form of 묘 (“grave; tomb”) [affix]

##### Compounds

* 묘비 (墓碑, myobi)
* 묘소 (墓所, myoso)
* 묘역 (墓域, myoyeok)
* 묘지 (墓地, myoji)
* 분묘 (墳墓, bunmyo)
* 성묘 (省墓, seongmyo)

### Etymology 2

Presumably the original form.

#### Pronunciation

* (Yukjin) IPA: [mó]

#### Hanja

墓 (eumhun 무덤 모 (mudeom mo))
* (Yukjin, Russia) hanja form of 모 (“grave; tomb”) [noun]

##### Usage notes

* Yukjin speakers still use the orthodox pronunciation in compounds, e.g. 묘디(墓地) (myodi) for 묘지(墓地) (myoji).
* This form appears to have historically been more common throughout the peninsula, as even southern dialects still sporadically have the derived term 못자리 (motjari, “gravesite”).
