Proto-Indo-European[edit]
Alternative forms[edit]
- *h₁ḱm̥tóm (< *dḱm̥tóm)
Etymology[edit]
Some sort of derivation from *déḱm̥t (“ten”) (with Pre-IE *d lost or merged with *h₁ in the same way the initial dental obstruent was lost in the oblique cases of *dʰéǵʰōm (“earth”)), perhaps its ordinal number (*déḱm̥t + *-ó-). If so then this could come from some phrase, "tenth", whose substantive noun can only be conjectured.
