Exception 1: Medial ㄴ followed by medial ㄹ is generally romanized ll. However, in certain instances of compound words, when a single word with a syllabic final ㄴ combines with suffixes beginning with a syllabic initial ㄹ, romanize as nn to represent standard pronunciation. For example:

의견란 (의견+란) ŭigyŏnnan
임진란 (임진+란) Imjinnan
생산량 (생산+량) saengsannyang
결단력 (결단+력) kyŏltannyŏk
비판력 (비판+력) pip’annyŏk
상견례 (상견+례) sanggyŏnnye
음운론 (음운+론) ŭmunnon
예찬론 (예찬+론) yech’annon
입원료 (입원+료) ibwŏnnyo
시인론 (시인+론) siinnon
개편론 (개편+론) kaep’yŏnnon

Exception 2: When a vowel or medial ㄴ is followed by a syllable beginning with 렬(列, 烈, 裂, 劣) or 률 (律, 率, 栗, 慄), the sound of ㄹ is generally not pronounced. In such cases, ㄹ is not romanized.
