What does KORUN mean in Scrabble?
noun
A plural form of koruna, the basic monetary unit historically used in Slovakia and still used in the Czech Republic.
English texts about central European currency sometimes use korun as the plural after a number, following the pattern of the original Czech and Slovak declension rather than simply adding an English s. Slovakia used the koruna until it adopted the euro, while the Czech Republic still keeps its own koruna as an independent currency, each divided into one hundred smaller units. Because the word looks unfamiliar to English readers, writers often gloss it as a currency term the first time it appears in a passage.
