The basic meaning of Chinese Kou and Korean ? is the organ that can breath, feed and speak, based on which they all can be extended in relevance and similarity. The agents are metaphors, metonymies and statute images. In their extension, the cognitive principles are in common, but the details of the extension are different. That shows a basic idea in contemporary linguistics; that is, there is more generality than individuality in human language.
