... that there is a folk tradition in Korea, where children who urinate while sleeping are made to wear a winnowing basket on their head and ask their neighbors for salt? Source: [1] This Korean lang paper has a translated English abstract available. "ki" is a winnowing basket, as per the article.
Comment: In the meantime I may flesh out the details about the tradition, especially if the DYK is accepted. Also there's a potentially relevant image in the article; I'm not sure if an image can be retroactively added to this nom, but I also didn't feel it was crucial, as "urinate" is eyecatching enough as is I think.
Overall: Interesting hook! For the source; Language other than English; MacOS safari translator as well as provided translation both check out. Still awaiting QPQ though. Seems like Kale has been at DYK for a while so I do expect one. InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 02:24, 7 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
