сорокъ
Old East Slavic
Etymology
Origin uncertain.
- In the past it was considered borrowed from Byzantine Greek σαράντα (saránta, “40”) (before 9th century as σαράκοντα (sarákonta)), from Ancient Greek τεσσαράκοντα (tessarákonta). Doubtful for phonetic and semantic reasons.
- From earlier *съркъ (*sŭrkŭ), borrowed from Turkic languages, ultimately from Proto-Turkic *kïrk (“40”) (compare Turkish kırk, Nogai кырк (kırk), Crimean Tatar qırq), by dissimilation of *k–k to *s–k.
Noun
сорокъ (sorokŭ) m
- unit of account equal to four tens
