τέσσαρες*Deleteचतुर्
numeralfourFrom pre-Germanic *petwṓr, with an irregular consonant change from *kwetwṓr, the neuter form of Proto-Indo-European *kwetwóres (‘four’). The consonant change was probably caused by the influence of the *p- in the word for "five", *pénkwe. The expected outcome would have been **hwedwōr. Cognates include Albanian katër, Old Armenian: չորք (čʻorkʻ), Lithuanian keturi, Old Irish cethair, Ancient Greek τέσσαρες (téssares), Sanskrit चतुर् (catur), Latin quattuor, and Tocharian A śtwar, all meaning ‘four’).
