葉作에 관한 一考察 = A Study on an Idu Word Yeobjil(葉作)

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In Idu the Chinese characters 作 and 秩 are both read 'jil' and mean 'documents produced in the government office' or 'official document in the broad sense'. Examples of the documents are official records such as hojeok(戶籍) · yangan(量案) · gunjeok(軍籍), various certificates such as iban(立案) · jeonjun(傳准) · wanmun(完文) · deongbon(謄本) · segye(世系), and law records such as sojang(訴狀) and jinsulseo(陳述書), etc. They were authorized by the relevant offices through the due process of law.
The characters fF and a are synonyms to a certain degree and the derivatives of the characters are also synonyms, for example '葉作 · 葉秩'; '反作 · 反秩'; '作廳 · 秩廳 · 吉廳'.
The character 作 was usally used for the 'official document'. In contrast the character a was used for the 'classification of documents' as observed more frequently in categories such as 分綴 · 編綴, 種類 · 部類, 分類, 項目. Therefore the former character produced derivatives meaning 'authentic' documents in many cases such as '官文書' · '帳簿' · '臺帳' and the latter derived many words meaning 'a kind of and 'a classified item of.
From the view point, the meaning of '葉作', '葉秩', '本秩', and '作文' used in Dongnakdang(獨樂堂) document no. 13 in Gyeongju(慶州) wes speculated. The document was produced in the II th year of King Seonjo(宣祖)'s reign (1578), and belongs to the early period document extant. Therefore, the document has the possibility of showing the original usage of Idu.
The result revealed that the characters '作' and '秩' used in the words '葉作' · '葉秩' · '本秩' · '作文' share the same meaning of 'official document in the broad sense'. The examples of '葉作' and '(2)葉秩' in the document no. 13 seem to mean the same thing, i.e. 'law record document', and '葉秩' in another case seem to mean 'the document iban(立案) itself'. '秩' of '本秩' and '作' of '葉作' share the same meaning. '作文' observed frequently means 'law record' and is a synonym of '葉作' and '葉秩'.
Although it is not easy to find the relationship between Korean words and Idu, considering 作 · 秩 · and 吉 are all read 'jil"질', we can speculate the original sound of these characters was 'jit' '짇' and the characters might indicate the root 'jit' '짓-'of 'jitda"짓다'.
Attention is needed in speculating the meanings of the Idu characters '秩' · '作' and their derivatives '葉作' · '葉秩', and '作文', because they mean many different things in different context. Further research is needed regarding the usage of the Idu characters '作' and '秩' and their derivatives.
