i, usually transliterated 'Lee', which causes no end of trouble, though I've recently been told that the "l" is tacked on because Koreans hate to see a naked vowel.

qroqqa commented on the word �?�
From a Chinese name with segments li, which is the original Korean pronunciation. As l and r belong to the same phoneme (with l the initial allophone), this is variously transcribed Lee, Li, Rhee etc. In Southern Korean dialects, however, initial l has disappeared before i and become n elsewhere: thus also Yi.
Bill Poser explains this in much greater detail on Language Log.

Thanks, Mr. style-type-text-css-h1-color-white-background-color-black-style-invertebrates listmaster--but didn't anyone else see a polar bear's muzzle with the rest of the bear camouflaged on the white background?
Edit: '2 wordies list'? It looks as though the system doesn't fully recognise that Invertebrates list, not wholly surprisingly.
