If you are trying to read a Korean Go book, you probably need the Hangul for these terms. The characters can be determined from the words above, as their form is basically alphabetical. However a useful shortcut is the glossary of English, Korean (Hangul) and Japanese go terminology available via Waller's Go Books Free Info.
(Click on the 'Korean to English Go Glossary' link once there. Geocities does not allow a direct link to the glossary from external websites, because it's a PDF file.)
