Korean 오름 (oreum, "rising") is the gerund of 오르다 (oreuda, "to rise"), while Japanese あがり (agari, "rising") of あがる (agaru, "to rise"). The former is homonymous to a Jeju dialect meaning "mount, mountain", while the latter to an Okinawan dialect meaning "east". However, it is noted that the homonymous in either pair are most likely descended from the same mother verb, hence cognates rather than homonyms. In parallel, such kinships are found evident in Greek and Latin, as well. For example, Latin orior ("to rise") may well give birth to oriens ("east"),[7]ortus ("sunrise, birth"), and origo ("origin, birth"), while Ancient Greek ὀρῑ́νω (orino, "to stir, rouse, arouse") somewhat dubiously to όρος (oros, “mount, mountain”),[8] and ὄρνις (ornis, "bird"). You may miss the Greek intransitive counterpart of Latin orior ("to rise"), whose motherly role Greek ανατέλλω (anatello, "to rise") may instead come to play in bearing ανατολή (anatolí, "sunrise, east") and Ανατολία (Anatolía, "Anatolia, Asia Minor") as the land of "sunrise, east" of Greece! And, such local and global parallelism must be either casual or causal, whether in part or in all. As "animating principles" or reasons, the lives matter anyway!
late 14c., "the direction east; the part of the horizon where the sun first appears," also (now with capital O-) "the eastern regions of the world, eastern countries" (originally vaguely meaning the region east and south of Europe, what is now called the Middle East but also sometimes Egypt and India), from Old French orient "east" (11c.), from Latin orientem (nominative oriens) "the rising sun, the east, part of the sky where the sun rises," originally "rising" (adj.), present participle of oriri "to rise" (see origin).
↑ This dual senses seem to prove that 오른 (oreun, "right(hand)") and 옳은 (olh-eun, "right(eous)") are of an origin.

Neither North Korean 옳바르다 from 옳다 + 바르다 nor South Korean 올 ("strand") + 바르다 seems to be right.
