yinghits

Aromanian

Alternative forms

• yiyints, ghinghits, ghighints, yinjits, yinjãts
• yinghițĭ (traditional orthography)

Etymology

Inherited from Latin vīgintī. Originally contracted to a nearly pan-Romance *vintī, which yielded *yintsi, the initial syllable yi- was seemingly duplicated into yiyints (note the initial stress). The form yinghits arose by metathesis of the -n-.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /ˈɣinɡits/, [ˈʝiŋʲɡʲit͡sʲ]
• Hyphenation: yin‧ghits

Numeral
