This study focused on interpreting ‘Insert-s(ㅅ)’ and ‘Word-initial Rule’ the examples while maintaining the framework of ‘Korean orthography’. Also, they study examined the problem of expanding or modifying the ‘Korean orthography’ framework. The findings point out that the case of western loanwords in terms of ‘Insert-s(ㅅ)’, should be supplemented with Sino-Korean words, and also mentioned that ‘Word-initial Rule’ should be modified with regularity.BR Whether or not the western loanwords can be handled with Sino-Korean words in ‘Insert-s(ㅅ)’ should be reflected in the rules and commentaries, and if the western loanword should be distinguished from Sino-Korean words, the reason should be specified. ‘Insert-s(ㅅ)’ and ‘Word-initial Rule’ are used in this study because the use of western loanwords raises problems not only in ‘Insert-s(ㅅ)’, but also in ‘Word-initial Rule’.BR In addition, the class of ‘lyu(류)’ being treated exceptionally needs to be reconsidered. The class of ‘lyu(류)’ can function as a noun, and it should be explained why it combines without the application of ‘Word-initial Rule’ in any conditions.BR As mentioned above, the rules of ‘Insert-s(ㅅ)’ and ‘Word-initial Rule’ of ‘Korean orthography’ need to be revised and supplemented. This study focuses on that necessity, and the issue of specifying necessity as a regulation will be discussed in more detail through further discussions.
