S. odog num. card. “seven” (Category: Cardinal Number)

S. odog, num. card. “seven” (Category: Cardinal Number)

The usual Sindarin word for “seven” was odog based on the root √OTOK, but it also had a shorter variant odo based on √OTOS (PE17/95; RC/384; VT42/25; VT47/42; VT48/6; Ety/OT).

Conceptual Development: The Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s had G. odin “seven”, which originally just meant “many” (GL/62; PE14/16).
