Etymological Dictionary of Proto-Germanic (Leiden Indo-European Etymological Dictionary Series 11) Guus Kroonen Brill 2013 𐬞𐬀𐬧𐬗𐬀 five πέντε *pénkwe five

numeral five From pre-Germanic *pémpe, with an irregular consonant change of the second *-p-from Proto-Indo-European *pénkwe (‘five’), due to a sporadic change of PIE *kw > *p after resonants in words starting with a labial Kroonen 2013; the expected form would have been **finhw. Cognates are Old Albanian pensë, Old Armenian հինգ (hing), Lithuanian penki̇̀, Irish cúig, Ancient Greek πέντε (pénte), Avestan 𐬞𐬀𐬧𐬗𐬀 (paṇca), Latin quīnque, and Proto-Tocharian *p'ä́ñćä, all meaning ‘five’. Possibly related to *funstiz (‘fist’) and *fingraz (‘finger’).
