Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *ts(j)i(j) ~ tsjaj (ten). Cognate with Burmese ဆယ် (hcai, ten), Nuosu (ci, ten), Lisu ꓞꓲꓻ (tsʰɨ, ten), Zhaba tsʰɿ⁵⁵ (ten) and Jingpho shi (ten). Compare Lhao Vo daxe, Zaiwa ce, Longchuan Achang tɕhe⁵⁵ and Hpon tᴜ̀ʔʃíh.

Pronunciation

[edit]

IPA(key): /tʰai⁵⁵/

Numeral

[edit]

tʰai⁵⁵

  1. ten

Usage notes

[edit]

Just like in Chinese and Burmese, tʰai⁵⁵ requires modification by a cardinal numeral. Thus, for "(one) ten", tə̆.tʰai⁵⁵ ("tə̆" is a reduced form of ta³¹("one")) should be used (cf. Burmese တဆယ် (ta.hcai, ten)).
