やそち【八十・80】

yasochi

Pronunciation: [jasot͡ɕi]

Definition

Noun

  1. (Archaism) Eighty

Etymology

Attested in the 1711 混効験集 Konkoukenshuu Okinawan dictionary (p. 14), under the spelling ヤソチ yasochi. Cognate to the historically attested Japanese forms やそ yaso and やそじ yasoji "eighty".

Notes

The expected modern Okinawan reflex would be やすち *yasuchi. The Sinitic term はちじゅう hachijuu has, however, replaced it in the common language.
