What does おくれ mean in this context? What is this verb form?




「くれ」 is the imperative form of 「くれる」 and the 「お」 is the honorific.

> 「Verb in te-form + おくれ」 = "Do ~~ for me / to me."

Without the 「お」, it would sound much less friendly.

「おくれ」 is used much more often in fiction than in real life -- at least in
real, present-day life.

> "Now, I'll give you this money; (Please) sell me the turtle."
