Good. At one time, the fu'ivla for "Korean language" was "bangrkore,a".

See my previous posting.   Rule 4 for fu'ivla in CLL Section 4.7 says
that "y" is forbidden in fu'ivla, so "bangrkore'a" can't be changed to
"bangyrkore'a".  In practice, it wouldn't be a problem to pronounce
the former like the latter.

Indeed, if that was the *only* kind of "y" in fu'ivla (that is, allowing
the syllable types Cyl, Cym, Cyn, Cyr), I could live with it.
