Brown Sugar Candy
The reason I saw my grandmother in my dream last night was probably because of what Sangwoo told me. The day our entire family gathered and went to visit her grave ahead of the fourth anniversary of her death, I heard a shocking story about her from Sangwoo, my younger brother. “Nuna, remember that old man?” It was a Saturday afternoon awash in autumn light, and dragonflies flitted leisurely throughout the cemetery park. My young nieces and nephews were shouting and running around, and the tombstones gleamed in the sun. In so many ways, it was the perfect day to pay a visit to Grandma for the first time in a while. “What old man?” I asked. “You know. Back in France, there was that old man who lived on the first floor. The tall one who wore a hearing aid.” While the other adults and my sister-in-law sat around on the grass chatting once we had finished tending the grave, Sangwoo and I had walked down to the lakeside, which was where he brought up the old man.

The Korean researchers immediately ruled out as obsolete the first definition for taemyeong (台命), meaning “orders given by high-ranking officials,” and had begun talking about the second taemyeong (胎名), or “nicknames given to fetuses.” Nergüi flipped back and forth between two different Mongolian dictionaries. “We do not name babies in the womb,” he declared, adding that there was no equivalent noun in the Mongolian language for taemyeong. Nergüi was a visiting researcher at the university, sent there to help compile a Korean-Mongolian dictionary. He and the three Korean researchers had spent the last six months choosing which words would go into the dictionary, and now they were nearly at the end.
