adjan/īn-stemeighth; occupying position eight in a sequenceFrom *ahtōu + *-dô (ordinal suffix) < Proto-Indo-European *-tó-, probably from pre-Germanic *h₃eḱtu-tó-. The voiced dental is an outcome of Verner’s Law with the original accent on the suffix. Comparanda include Latin octāvus , Ancient Greek ὄγδοος, Sanskrit अष्टम, Tocharian A oktänt, and Tocharian B oktante, all meaning ‘eighth’.
