Talk:cini

Etymology for 'cini' is a bit of a mystery - declined forms are obviously Latin/Italian but searching through pronouns from possibly-influencing languages hasn't yielded anything. I can tell you it's NOT Latin or Greek, most likely. (or if it is, it wasn't originally a pronoun.)

Pronounciation isn't clear; going off of trend of hard c in Griko words (and with β as v, no breathing marks, t possibly pronounced as d) it would be 'κινι'; if it's a soft c or a guttural c, both σινι or χινι are possible, although those would probably be transliterated as 'sini' or 'chini'. Please check against Griko sources. Elliott Dunstan (talk) 16:54, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
