Spoken 'and...', with more coming

The relaxed spoken spelling of 고요: it closes a line politely while flagging that you are not finished. Speakers use it to stack points — thank you so much for coming, and...; I was thinking about ten thousand won an hour, and...; hello, I'm Mikah's mother, and.... Two of these lines stretch it further to 구용, a cutesy spelling used in captions and online. In writing the standard form is 고요.
