菱 • (reung>neung) (hangeul 릉>능, revised reung>neung, McCune–Reischauer rŭng>nŭng, Yale lung>nung)
- (마름): water caltrop, compare water chestnut.
Usage notes
- It may be implausible to use water chestnut synonymously or confusingly, which is also synonymous to Eleocharis dulcis which is not closely related to water caltrop.
