O axşam sonuncu dəfə ailəlikcə süfrə başında əyləşmişdilər. İsmayıl həmişəki kimi masanın başında oturmuş, evin xanımı və övladları da onun ətrafına toplaşıb, dinmədən şam edirdilər. Bu susqunluq fırtınaqabağı sakitliyi xatırladırdı...

From Ottoman Turkishفورطنه(furtuna, fırtuna, fırtına), from Venetanfortuna, from Latinfortūna. The Latin word meant any sort of luck, good or bad, but among sailors the word became specialized to mean a particular kind of bad luck, a storm. The immediate source may have been Greekφουρτούνα(fourtoúna). The word is widespread in the Mediterranean. Kahane et al. write “It is difficult to establish clearly the secondary centers of radiation. Some variants, e.g. Alban. fortunë, Bulg. fortuna, Roum. furtună may come directly from Greek; some, e.g. SerboCroat. frtunavrtúna, Alban. fërtunë, Gr. φουρτίνα(fourtína) may come directly from Turkish.”
