And of course, to go further into nothing making any sense:
The Finnish language took the Russian word for sable, sóbol, and made a word of its own based off that: sopuli. But sopuli doesn’t mean sable. It means lemming. Somebody got confused. Later they heard about sable and named it soopeli in Finnish.
The Russian and Ukrainian ones aren’t correct. They say “90” as something along the lines of “nine but hundred”.
The tens are:
Ten
Two ten
Three ten
Sorok
Five ten
Six ten
Seven ten
Eight ten
Nine but hundred
(Plus, these all have contractions, but it’s easy to hear where the words stem from)
Suddenly… Sorok!
Sorok is 40 sable furs tied together for easier countiing while trading, it is soooo obvious!
