four

chörö : four

The Tarijan word for the number four is chörö.

Choro is a Brazilian popular music instrumental style. Choro is a last name.

In other languages:
In Portuguese choro means cry. In Spanish choro means mussel.

International locations:
Choro is the name of cities in Bolivia, Venezuela and Brazil.

How I came up with this word:
Chörö is a mixture of the transliterated word for four in Russian which is chetyre or chyetirye or chetayre (четыре), and the transliterated word for four in Mongolian which is döröv or dorov or dhuruv (дөрөв).

I think I'm seeing transliteration variations.
