Cardinal: 𑀘𑀢𑁆𑀢𑀸𑀮𑀻𑀲 (cattālīsa), 𑀘𑀸𑀆𑀮𑀻𑀲 (cāālīsa) |
Etymology
[edit]Alteration of 𑀘𑀢𑁆𑀢𑀸𑀮𑀻𑀲𑀁 (cattālīsaṃ), from Sanskrit चत्वारिंशत् (catvāriṃśat). The loss of -tt- parallels its loss in 𑀘𑀢𑁆𑀢𑀭𑀺 (cattari) > Old Hindi चारि (cāri), etc, probably through inflected forms like चतुरः (caturaḥ), where the intervocalic -t- would be regularly lost.
