Q. otso, num. card. “seven” (Category: Cardinal Number)

The usual Quenya word for “seven” was otso dating all the way back to the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s (PE17/96; VT47/42; VT48/6; Ety/OT; PE14/49, 82; QL/71), though it had occasional variants like otos (PE17/95) or {oxo >>} osko (VT47/42). Its root form was √OTOS or √OTOK, the latter producing S. odog “seven”.
