ութ • (utʻ)

1. eight

• ութն (utʻn) (post-classical, influenced by եօթն (eōtʻn), ինն (inn), տասն (tasn))

From Proto-Armenian *owtu, from Proto-Indo-European *oḱtṓw. The failed palatalization of *ḱ is generally explained as a result of the analogy with եւթն (ewtʻn, “seven”), seen also in Elean Ancient Greek ὀπτώ (optṓ).
