chicken
🐔 dak sounds like duck — wrong bird, right barnyard: 닭 is the chicken
Dak is one vowel away from duck, so hook it as the duck that turned out to be a chicken. You already know it from food names: dak-galbi is spicy stir-fried chicken, and the dak in Korean fried chicken menus is this same word.
