This letter is " Tiger , 범 호(虎)랑이".

This year is Tiger's year.

 

Koreans represent twelve years as " twelve Animals".

 

" Twelve Animals" are the twelve calender signs.

It's Korean customs.

 

What is the special [distinctive] feature of a tiger?

 

I think " 王 of a forehead".

 

The fourth letter is [호, ho] because H means a kind of [ㅎ,h] sound.

Studying English sound [H], you knows this sound .

 

The third letter is [랑, lang]sound and rear figure.

The second letter is [ㅁ, m]sound and mouth of a tiger.

The first letter is [버, beo]sound and a (fore)-paw like a lion.
