if that'd peace your mind, we call it "Gang" in Russia. But I wouldn't be surprised that it came from greek too, most greek words lost their endings when loaned

- YeGoblynQueenne 5y agoCan you give some examples please? I'm Greek and I don't know any Russian. In Greek we have adopted many Turkish words and we always stick an "-i" at the end. For example, "passoumi" (a kind of footwear, "passoum" in Turkish), "briki" (for making coffee, "brik" in Turkish), "ati" (horse, "at" in Turkish) etc. I think we've also taken some Slavic words and treated them this way, for example "boureki" (borek, dumpling), kokoretsi ("kokorec") and probably others I can't think of now.
