"ʒapkun" meaning in All languages combined

See ʒapkun on Wiktionary

Numeral [Proto-Tungusic]

Etymology: Ramstedt proposes two etymologies: # *ʒab- is identified with Evenki дябдар (ʒabdar, “long”) (see PTg entry *ʒabda), while the second component has to be borrowed from Sino-Korean word "kon" ("eldest (brother)"); and Ramstedt supposes the following semantic development: ("long brother") > ("long finger") > ("middle finger") > ("eight, 8") # *ӡ-ap-kan < *ӡu(r)-ap- (“2 before [10]”) in analogy with Korean 여덟 (yeodeol) < Proto-Koreanic *yər-tur-ap (“2 before 10”); Benzing proposes an earlier form *ʒapkuan due to reason that the elements *-guan and *-gun used to form numerals.
