numeralelevenCompound of *ainaz + *-lif/*-lib (fossilized numeral-forming element found in Proto-Germanic *ainalif and *twalif), literally ‘one left over (after ten)’, parallel to *twalif (literally ‘two left over’) Kroonen 2013: 11–12Ringe 2017: 229–30. The second member is probably connected with *lībaną/*bilībaną and *lifnaną, from the zero-grade *lip- of Proto-Indo-European root *leyp-; compare Tocharian B lip and Proto-Slavic lьnǫti. The exact preform is uncertain, however: Gothic 𐌰𐌹𐌽𐌻𐌹𐌱𐌹𐌼 (dat.) and 𐍄𐍅𐌰𐌻𐌹𐌱𐍅𐌹𐌽𐍄𐍂𐌿𐍃 point to *-lib-, while the closest external numeral parallels, Lithuanian vienúolika and dvýlika, suggest *-likʷ- from PIE *leykʷ-Ringe 2017: 229–30. Related to *ainaz and *twalif. See also*-lif.
