Etymology
A number which is not attested in North Tungusic branch. Either a cognate, or borrowed from Mongolic. Compare Proto-Mongolic *gucin (“thirty”), Mongolian гуч (guč). Other Tungusic languages having a campound of three + ten; as in Evenki иландя̄р (ilanʒār), Even иланмяр (ilanmẹr) and Udihe илаʒа (ilaja).
According to Benzing; the numbers 20, 30 and 40 are ultimately of Mongolic origin. Thus, the native Proto-Tungusic numbers might had a campound of “any digit + ten” instead.
