\data\alt\koret
Proto-Korean: *sànhằiŋ
Altaic etymology: Altaic etymology
Meaning: hunting
Russian meaning: охота
Modern Korean: sanjaŋ
Middle Korean: sànhằiŋ
Comments: Nam 289, KED 869. In KED it is explained as a Chinese borrowing: 山行 'going to the mountains', which is probably a folk etymology: in Middle Korean the word is usually not spelled with Chinese characters (see HMCH 307), means all sorts of hunting, while the Chinese compound does not denote hunting at all (just "mountain trip").
