Etymology[edit]

Cognate with Sanskrit अशीति (aśīti), which see for wider connections. Ultimately from the same base as aṭṭha (eight).

Numeral[edit]

asīti

  1. eighty

Usage notes[edit]

As with pañcāsīti (85) (= pañca + asīti) to aṭṭhāsīti (88) (= aṭṭha + asīti), the initial vowel is lengthened in caturāsīti (84) although that is not the normal way of combining those two elements.
