Rubenbauer/Hofmann argue the form seems to stem from a PIE dual ("two times four fingertips" in a base-4 system). === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈɔk.toː] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈɔk.to] === Numeral === octō (indeclinable) eight; 8 ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== octās octōgintā ==== Descendants ==== ==== See also ==== Appendix:Latin cardinal numerals === References === “octo”, in Charlton T.
