ここのそち【九十・90】

kokonosochi

Pronunciation: [kokonosot͡ɕi]

Definition

Noun

  1. (Archaism) Ninety

Etymology

Attested in the 1711 混効験集 Konkoukenshuu Okinawan dictionary (p. 14), under the spelling コヽノシチ kokonosochi. Cognate to the historically attested Japanese forms ここのそ kokonoso and ここそじ kokosoji "ninety".

Notes

The expected modern Okinawan reflex would be くくぬすち *kukunusuchi. The Sinitic term くじゅー kujuu has, however, replaced it in the common language.
