The above reads that Proto-Korean for "sea" may be a loan from Old Japanese. This hypothesis may be well falsified by checking up how thickly both words for "sea" are related to other terms respectively in reality, as per mass comparison as it were. For Korean, see the Relatives and Comparatives above.

"white" |

The two merging Russian rivers Volga and Kama, possibly meaning respectively "white" and "black," thus, "west" and "north" as per the oriental tradition. As such, their etymology should be oriental, and Korean might be above all other candidates.
“ | The Turkic peoples associated the Itil's origin with the Kama. Thus, a left tributary to the Kama was named the Aq Itil "White Itil" which unites with the Kara Itil "Black Itil" |
” |
“ | The Kama (...) is (...) the longest left tributary of the Volga and the largest one in discharge. At their confluence, in fact, the Kama is even larger than the Volga. | ” |
“ | Volga Bulgaria (...) or Volga–Kama Bulghar, was a historic Bulgar state that existed between the 7th and 13th centuries around the confluence of the Volga and Kama River, in what is now European Russia. Volga Bulgaria was a multi-ethnic state with large numbers of Turkic Bulgars, a variety of Finnic and Ugric peoples, and many East Slavs. The very strategic position of Volga Bulgaria allowed it to create a monopoly between the trade of Arabs, Norse and Avars. | ” |

- The common majesty is "the quality of being impressive and great." What could physically justify the royal Majesty? It may be especially when His/Her Majesty leads the great noble crowd. Likewise is the case with the Korean counterpart, which is a metonym from Korean 버텅 (beoteong, "stepstone" + 아래 (arae, "the lower part"), possibly a calque from Sino-Korean 폐하 (pyaeha) from Chinese 陛下, all suggesting the noble gathering below the royal stepstone. As such, great nobility, east and west, must act as a measure, metaphor and/or metonym for great royalty and/or majesty.
