Cardinal : *ɔ̇kmis

Reconstruction notes

In Late Proto-Permic, the initial vowel started to vary, with Udmurt showing a reflex of initial *u-, and dialectal Komi showing *o-. Nevertheless, based on *ɔ̇tik, an original initial *ɔ̇- can be reconstructed.

Etymology

From *ɔ̇k- (“one”) +‎ *-mis (“lacking from ten”). The first part is an unmetathesised continuation of Proto-Uralic *ükte.

Equivalent to Proto-Finnic *ükteksä (“nine”), itself also derived from *ükci (“one”).

Numeral

*ɔ̇kmis

nine
