Casual spelling of -ㄹ게, 'I'll…'

께 here is how -ㄹ게 comes out in relaxed or southeastern speech: a promise made to the person listening. 먹을 것만 놔두고 가께 'I'll just leave some food and go', 벌금 내께! 'I'll pay the fine!' The meaning is identical to standard -ㄹ게요 minus the politeness. Two lines here (아래께, 원래께) are regional words that merely contain the syllable.

Register: casual, regional spelling
