Usage notes
핑 (ping) is the yin vowel, or dark vowel, form of 팽 (paeng).
In contemporary Korean, the yin vowels refer to /ʌ/, /e/, /u/, and often /i/. In Korean ideophones and sensory words, forms with these vowels have a connotation of darkness, largeness, murkiness, bluntness, old age, or negativeness. 핑 (ping) is the aspirated consonant form of neutral 빙 (bing) and intensive 삥 (pping).
In certain Korean ideophones and sensory words, forms with aspirated consonants are para-intensive; they emphasize the degree to which the description is true to an extreme extent beyond that enabled by the intensive form alone.
