In this paper, I delve into some grammatical aspects of Sino-Korean nominals which can combine with the light verb -ha ‘do’ in order to form a complex verb. They were assumed to be a noun when they were first introduced into Korean vocabulary. As they are combined with the light verb -ha in Korean, however, they are shown to behave as a verb in terms of theta-marking and Case-assignment, showing a diachronic change over a long period of time in history.
