So, in The Mouse's original post on Korean pronunciation, she added a few simple rules that explain how certain sounds should be pronounced in certain positions.
They are as follows:
[ʨ˭, ʨʼ, ʨʰ, h] --> [ʥ˭, ʥʼ, ʥʰ, ɦ] // +V_+V
[l] --> [ɾ] // V_V, or _#, especially in borrowings
[l] --> [n]// _#. especially _[i, j]
[l] sometimes --> 0// _#
[s] --> [ɕ]// V_V or _[i, j]
There is one more that The Mouse had not come across in her initial readings on Korean, but has noticed more and more as she listens to the language and tries to take in as much as possible, and so, also:
/s, ʨ˭, ʨʰ/ --> [t̚ ] // syllable_
The Mouse is not entirely certain if this rule applies across the board, but for example, she learned that "three" in Korean, is written 셋, or "ses," but is pronounced "set," and the same applies with "four," 넷, "net," "five," 다섯, "daseot," and "six," 여섯, "yeoseot." Note that all Korean forms have "ᄉ," typically pronounced "s," in syllable-final position. This also occurs in words where ᄌ "j" and ᄎ"ch" are in syllable-final position. The Mouse is curious as to why this is, but for now just adds it to her list of phonological rules for Korea.
EDIT: /s, s' ʨ˭, ʨʰ, ʨ'/ --> [t̚ ] // syllable_C (or syllable_sentence)
Example: 나는 그것이있다 (Lit. "I it have" - "I have it.")
Expected pronunciation [na.nœn. k˭œ.k˭ɔ.ɕi.is.t˭a]
Actual pronunciation [na.nœn. k˭œ.k˭ɔ.ɕi.it̚.t˭a]
This seems to happen universally when a palatal fricative or affricate occurs before a consonant or in sentence-final position.
