Knot in Korean (romanized), maedup or maedeup. Po-tae-toe po-tah-toe or more accurately Beijing vs Peking. I first saw it as maedup and still see it as that from time to time, it’s shorter, I like short. Brevity is good. When I’m copying something down and it’s written as maedeup, I’ll copy it that way though. So, no consistency. Sorry.

But, knot in Korean (Hangeul) is 매듭. No confusion there.

Traditional knot: 전통매듭 jeon-tong-mae-deup

In the translation grid below, I’m leaving the “maedeup” off of the Korean romanization (MCT), “knot” or “매듭” off of names from time to time to keep the table as compact as I can without excessive ambiguity. Consider them implied if they’re not there. 8) Also, if the romanization has dashes in it, I probably got it from an online conversion tool, if it doesn’t, then I got it from one of my books.

Edit note: I was looking at my bookshelf trying to decide what I wanted to do next, and i came across my Noeuds coréens and decided to add French to the grid since France and South Korea enjoy a special relationship.
