Word derivation for "eight"
Basque = zortzi, Finnish = kahdeksan
Miresua = kahetzi
My previous Miresua conlang word for eight was kasetzi. This is a small change.
By the way, the Finnish word for two is kaksi, and the word for eight, kahdeksan, presumably meant something like "two before (ten)".
The word eight can't be found in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, but it occurs in Through the Looking-glass.
"She can't do Addition," the Red Queen interrupted. "Can you do Subtraction? Take nine from eight."
"Nine from eight I can't, you know," Alice replied very readily: "but--"
"She can't do Subtraction," said the White Queen.
