Exception 1: Medial ㄴ followed by medial ㄹ is generally romanized ll. However, in certain instances of compound words, when a single word with a syllabic final ㄴ combines with suffixes beginning with a syllabic initial ㄹ, romanize as nn to represent standard pronunciation. For example:
의견란 (의견+란) | ŭigyŏnnan |
임진란 (임진+란) | Imjinnan |
생산량 (생산+량) | saengsannyang |
결단력 (결단+력) | kyŏltannyŏk |
비판력 (비판+력) | pip’annyŏk |
상견례 (상견+례) | sanggyŏnnye |
음운론 (음운+론) | ŭmunnon |
예찬론 (예찬+론) | yech’annon |
입원료 (입원+료) | ibwŏnnyo |
시인론 (시인+론) | siinnon |
개편론 (개편+론) | kaep’yŏnnon |
Exception 2: When a vowel or medial ㄴ is followed by a syllable beginning with 렬(列, 烈, 裂, 劣) or 률 (律, 率, 栗, 慄), the sound of ㄹ is generally not pronounced. In such cases, ㄹ is not romanized.
