Etymology 1

Borrowed from a Mongolic language; otherwise it is hard to explain word initial /s/; compare Mongolian ᠰᠠᠨᠠᠬᠤ (sanaqu) / санах (sanax, “to think”). Ultimately from Proto-Turkic *sāna- (“to think”), from *sān (“number, counting”), from *sā- (“to think, count”). Cognate with Turkish say- (“to count, regard”).
