Proto-Algonquian[edit]

Etymology[edit]

Rhodes and Costa write that "[e]vidence from Fox suggests that this was not originally a number word (see Goddard 2001: 173), as claimed by Siebert (1975: 308). [] Nonetheless, the existence of a Fox cognate guarantees a Proto-Algonquian source. Moreover, this root figures in the construction of words for 'seven' in certain Eastern languages", just like *nyi·šwi (two) figures in *nyi·šwa·šika (seven).

Particle[edit]
