Pronunciation
Etymology 1
From ko okm - -야〮 -yá, as in ᄒᆞ〮야〮 hóy-á.
It is believed that at an ancient stage, the stem of ᄒᆞ다〮 hò-tá was actually ko *ᄒᆡ- (Yale: *hoy-). At that stage, the infinitive of the stem would have regularly been ᄒᆞ〮야〮 hó-yá. However, this older infinitive was retained even when the stem was monophthongized in other contexts, producing the irregular allomorph of the infinitive suffix (Vovin 2010, p. 27).
Suffix

Usage notes
In less formal language, ko 하여 is always contracted to ko 해#하여 해.
Because the intimate style is never formal by definition, ko 하여 can never replace ko 해 in such contexts.
For the second sense, i- and y-stem verbs include stems ending in ko ㅣ, ko ㅐ, ko ㅔ, ko ㅚ, ko ㅟ, and ko ㅢ.
