The semantics of the word don't overlap well with any one term in English, which is part of why I keep forgetting it. Also, my mind immediately associated it with the word sorte - luck, which has nothing to do with surto but I always remember that association first... :/

rüzgâr - wind
I don't think I could ever forget that the latter means "wind", but at least half of the time when I see the former, I think it means that as well. The reason it's so frustrating is that even though both are Persian loanwords, this same mix-up hasn't happened to me in Persian even once...
