みそち【三十・３０】 : misochi | define meaning
misochi
Pronunciation: [misot͡ɕi]
Definition
Noun
- (Archaism) Thirty
Etymology
Attested in the 1711 混効験集 Konkoukenshuu Okinawan dictionary (p. 13), under the spelling ミソチ misochi. Cognate to the historically attested Japanese forms みそ・みそじ 【三十・卅・丗】 miso and misoji "thirty".
Notes
The expected modern Okinawan reflex would be んすち *nsuchi. The Sinitic term さんじゅう【三十・３０】 sanjuu "thirty" has, however, replaced it in the common language.
