Etymology

Almost certainly an additive compound of π’Š (iβ‚‚ /⁠i⁠/, β€œfive”) +β€Ž π’ˆ« (min, β€œtwo”). Now mostly read umin. The /u/ in umin is due to analogy with the initial sound of 𒐍 (ussu, β€œeight, 8”). The form umum is due to vowel harmony.

Alternative forms of
/umin/
𒐅 (iminβ‚‚, umunβ‚ˆ)

Numeral

π’Œ β€’ (imin /umin/ or transliteration needed /umun/)

  1. seven, 7
  2. (poetic) many, all
