Attributive adjective postposition(관형격 조사)'ㅅ' in medival Korean language was used like '의' in modern korean language.

I found a similar question and answer here: (Korean)

https://www.korean.go.kr/front/onlineQna/onlineQnaView.do;front=A7F7DEC9E04D4C858034775C804608B9?mn_id=&qna_seq=23137&pageIndex=11509

It says that Though it differs by scholars, ㅅ in medival Korean had two usage: 관형격 조사(冠形格 助詞, adnominal case postposition) and 사이시옷.

Hope it helps others who are interested in medival Korean.
