three

tiira : three

The Tarijan word for the number three is tiira.

Tiira is a last name that can be Finnish.

In other languages:
In Finnish tiira translates to tern. In Sanskrit (transliterated) tiira translates to bank or edge.

How I came up with this word:
Tiira is a mixture of the transliterated word for three in Russian which is
tri (три) (although there is also troe and troika), and the transliterated word
for three in Mongolian which is gurav or ghurav (гурав).

Earlier my word for three was tira. I decided to change this word to tiira because of how I'm thinking of pronouncing Tarijan.
