Embarrassingly long time since my last post. Place the blame on any number of life events to include but not limited to: having a baby. Go us.

Today's Hanja character is not to be confused with 아버 부 (父) or 아닐 부 (不). Today's character 지아비 부 (夫) means 남편 but is actually pretty archaic.

농부 (農夫)
farmer

어부 (漁夫)
fisherman
