As promised (with delay):

Here's the main book I'm using. I meant to cite two, but took the wrong
folder. I'll follow up tomorrow with the specific-to-Middle-Korean stuff,
although Lee-Ramsey has plenty.

LEE Iksop & S. Robert Ramsey 2000: "The Korean Language". SUNY  Series in
Korean Studies, Sung Bae Park, Ed. SUNY Press, Albany NY.

anxious to have someone on this list whom I can ask about Korean, since my
own knowledge is fragmentary and colloquial at best.) What other
Occitan-E.M. Korean affixes occur?"

I've been busy, sorry (the Discovery Channel is doing a special that will
feature me! yay!), but I'd love to chat about my twisted "lengas oc"
sometime.

The premise is, for no apparent reason (deus ex machina), ice-age europe, h.
sapiens neandertalensis and h. s. cromagnonensis, and speakers of Occitan,
Korean, and perhaps others. (I have been working on a large paper on
NuNezili or 'medieval' hittite, which is hittite through a Basque historical
filter: consonant lenition, epenthesis, etc. as per Basque, only with
attested Hittite words.)

I haven't worked out all the world-building details, such as level of tech,
but I'm thinking sudden Victorian-level culture with stretch-the-imagination
limited flying machines in the form of unpowered gliders etc. This is what
happens when deus ex machina is in the form of traders from another
reality...
