Albanian

Etymology

Inherited from Proto-Indo-European *wídḱm̥ti (“twenty”).[1][2] The initial z-, corresponding to the *-ḱ-, in place of **dh- is explained by the adjacency with the original *w.[n 1]

Numeral

-zet

  1. -twenty
    njëzet, dyzet ― twenty, forty
    trezet, katërzet, pesëzet (dialectal) ― sixty, eighty, hundred

Notes
  1. Compare possible parallels in zë／zâ (“voice”), zot (“lord”), samë (“dog shit”).[2]
