Reading
융 (yung) when it starts a word — see below.
Also read 융 (yung)
prosperous, plentiful, abundant
클 륭keul ryung
Every hanja has a two-part name in Korean: what it means, then how it's read. Here 클 (keul) is the Korean for prosperous, and 륭 (ryung) is the reading. Say 클 륭 out loud and a Korean speaker knows which character you mean.

The dictionary reading is 륭, but South Korean spelling writes 융 when the character leads the word. Both are the same character; only the position differs.
