    Cardinal: *gutïn

Etymology

A number which is not attested in Northern Tungusic branch. Borrowed from Proto-Mongolic *gučin (“thirty”)[1], Mongolian гуч (guč). Other Tungusic languages having a compound of "three + ten"; as in Evenki иландя̄р (ilanʒār), Even иланмяр (ilanmẹr) and Udihe илаʒа (ilaʒa).

According to Benzing; the numbers 20, 30 and 40 are ultimately of Mongolic origin. Thus, the native Proto-Tungusic numbers might had a campound of “digit + ten” instead.
