[KS] Re: Mother of Tangun

[Robert Ramsey]

Tan'gun and Chungang are the transcriptions that follow the rules laid down in McCune and 
Reischauer's original article.  Also Han'guk and Han'gUl. (I always thought that the apostrophe 
would have been better used if it corresponded to the Han'gUl symbol iUng used at the beginning 
of a syllable beginning with a vowel sound--but that's not how McCune and Reischauer set up 
their system.)
