nine

devyes : nine

The Tarijan word for the number nine is devyes.

Devyes is an unusual last name.

How I came up with this word:
Devyes is a mixture of the transliterated word for nine in Russian which is devyat’ or dyeviat (девять), and the transliterated word for nine in Mongolian which is yes or yös (ес) or yisün (есөн).
