Precisely.  The syllabic transcription is correct, but one would
need a Korean dictionary and plenty of time to group them into
the correct words.  Fortunately, Korean sentence structure is
generally of the subject-object-verb form, with postfix suffixes
used to mark case, tense, etc., and I believe nouns and adjectives
are uninflected.  This substantially limits the combinatorial
problem.  I think I'm probably drifting a bit too far off topic
here, however.

Cheers,
