Etymology

From Lua error in Module:parameters at line 331: Parameter 2 should be a valid language or etymology language code; the value "fiu-fin-pro" is not valid. See WT:LOL and WT:LOL/E.. Equivalent to üks (two) +‎ teist (of second). Shortened from üksteistkümmend ("one of the second decade"), which is still evident in declension. Cognate with Finnish yksitoista.
