kokonosochi
Pronunciation: [kokonosot͡ɕi]
Definition
Noun
- (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.
