[ANSTHRLD] Confirming Ruling on Korean Names

[Scat at cfl.rr.com]

When I researched Korean names in the early '90s, I was able to document 
sustained contact from 1595 to 1600
(do not ask how--I have no remembrance of my sources); however, I was told 
at the time that five years of contact
was not a long enough period of time to allow for sustained cultural 
contact.
