- * κ·Έλ§μ λ (Geumajeodo): Even that / even so — The particle '-λ§μ ' denotes 'even' in situations including adverse or painful things, showing that even the pain of parting felt tender and beautiful in retrospect.
- * λλ¬ΌκΉμ§ (Nunmulkkaji): Even the tears — '-κΉμ§' signifies 'including up to', encapsulating that neither happiness nor sorrow is rejected; all of it was precious.
