    • 2019 May 17, Xəyalə Muradlı, “Rəqs bağçamızın qızılgülü”, in Azərbaycan, page 6:
      O axşam sonuncu dəfə ailəlikcə süfrə başında əyləşmişdilər. İsmayıl həmişəki kimi masanın başında oturmuş, evin xanımı və övladları da onun ətrafına toplaşıb, dinmədən şam edirdilər. Bu susqunluq fırtınaqabağı sakitliyi xatırladırdı...
      That evening they sat at the table for the last time as a family. As usual, Ismail was sitting at the head of the table, and his wife and children gathered around him and were having a dinner without saying a word. This silence was reminiscent of the calm before the storm...

Etymology

From Ottoman Turkish فورطنه (furtuna, fırtuna, fırtına), from Venetian fortuna, from Latin fortūna. The Latin word meant any sort of luck, good or bad, but among sailors the word became specialized to mean a particular kind of bad luck, a storm. The immediate source may have been Greek φουρτούνα (fourtoúna). The word is widespread in the Mediterranean. Kahane et al. write “It is difficult to establish clearly the secondary centers of radiation. Some variants, e.g. Alban. fortunë, Bulg. fortuna, Roum. furtună may come directly from Greek; some, e.g. SerboCroat. frtuna vrtúna, Alban. fërtunë, Gr. φουρτίνα (fourtína) may come directly from Turkish.”
