[edit] Etymology

What does "bal" mean? Badagnani 07:02, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

"foot". "Jokbal" is a combined word with the two words having the same meaning. Jok+Bal (족:foot + 발:foot)

That case happens on some words in Korean language such as 처가집 (the house of my wife's parents). 처(wife's)+가(house in hanja)+집(house in hangul).--Appletrees 09:59, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
