Speaking of Words: Words for Numbers

Speaking of WordsBy MICHAEL FERBER When we learn to count, we rattle off the first ten numbers as a set of arbitrary sounds as if they were proper names and have no other meaning. After “ten,” in most languages, we might notice that the number names are constructed out of the first ten. In Ancient Greek hen is “one” and deka is “ten,” so “eleven” is hendeka; “twelve” is dodeka. So in Latin “eleven” is undecim, “twelve” is duodecim, and so on. This system is still fairly clear in the descendants of Latin: French onze and douze, Spanish once and doce, and so on. In English it is less clear: Where do “eleven” and “twelve” come from? “Twelve” looks like it has “two” in it, and the l-v pattern is found in both words. The first syllable of “eleven,” it turns out, comes from an old form of “one,” as is clear in other Germanic languages, such as Old High German einlif. The second half of both words might come from an old form of “leave” or “left,” in which case the words might mean something like “ten and one (or two) left over,” though this is far from certain.
