Adler number: epsilon,1135
Translated headword: ninth

Translation:
[e)/natos] and [feminine] e)na/th[1] [are spelled] with one nu. But e)nne/a ["nine"] [is spelled] with double nu.
Greek Original:
*)/enatos kai\ e)na/th. di' e(no\s n. *)enne/a de\ dia\ du/o nn.
Notes:
cf. already epsilon 1134.
See again epsilon 1206; and cf. Choeroboscus, Epimerismoi in Psalmos 110.12; Etymologicum Magnum 343.14. Chantraine says the double consonant in e)nne/a is un problème sans solution; the root was *newn-, cf. Latin novem.
