gom

There is word "Kamui" in Ainu. (カムイ)
It means that God.
 
Incidentally Kamui is a Japanese pronunciation of the current.
Formal pronunciation of Kamui in the Ainu language.
Maybe it is different. 

A=あ=ア、I=い=イ、U=う=ウ、E=え=エ、O=お=オ
If this vowel is not attached,Japanese language of the current can not pronounce correctly. 
 
For example,K(a)m(u)(i)
 
There is a "n" as the exception. 
This is ”ん” by ”n”.
 
Incidentally,although this is a little annoying,"n" is also present as a consonant.
 
na=な=ナ,ni=に=ニ,nu=ぬ=ヌ,ne=ね=ネ,no=の=ノ.
 
And n=ん=ン.


・・・・・・・・・

 
There was a festival in Ainu called "Iyomante". (or Iomante)
 
"We return bear to heaven."(熊送り) 
The meaning of this word seems to be it.
 
"Sacrifice to God the child bear." 
By the way,significance of this festival looks like that.
 
"Bear is the incarnation of God.
They came to our world as a guest.
We return them to heaven."
 
But in fact, there seems to be this sense.
 
 
・・・・・・・・・
 

By the way,God is "kami" at the Japanese language currently.
And bear is "kuma".
 
"Bear is God."
But this recognition does not exist in Japan today as the national traditions. 
(Bear is live nationwide in today.)
 
And bear is "Gom" probably in modern Korean. (곰)
(I have the help of Google Translate.
I do not know Korean.)
 
This word can not be pronounced correctly in Japanese.
Because vowel is not associated to ”m”.
 
"Gomu" or "komu".
If Japanese people attempts to pronounce this word,it's going to be like this probably.

Apparently there are a few words that represents the God in modern Korean.
One is a "sin". (신)
This is the pronunciation of "神" of Chinese characters as with Japan.
 
But the most common words that represent God.
It seems to ”Hananim” in modern Korean. (하나님)

"Gom" that word itself.
Probably it will not relevance of God at Korea.
