ㄴ is placed below 구 Gu. Similarly, in [ŋəp], the
consonant ㅂ is positioned below 어 Eo.
Combination of identical letters
The same letters can be combined and written side by side
to create different meanings. In native Korean, 혀 Hyeo
refers to the tongue inside the mouth, while [xjə] means
"to pull." Similarly, 괴여 Gwoeyeo means "I love someone,"
whereas 괴 Gwoeyyeo means "I am loved by someone."
Likewise, 소다 Soda means "to overturn and spill
something," whereas 쏘다 SSoda means "to shoot
something.”
