語源

Inherited from 古期英語 endleofta, endlyfta, from Proto-West Germanic *ainaliftō, from Proto-Germanic *ainaliftô; equivalent to elleven (“eleven”) +‎ -the (ordinal suffix).

This form's greater geographical range and persistence than sefte (“seventh”) and nythe (“ninth”) is presumably as it was reinforced by Old Norse ellifti.

発音

• IPA: /ɛ(n)ˈlɛft(ə)/
• IPA: /ɛ(n)ˈlɛfθ(ə)/, /ɛ(n)ˈlɛvəð(ə)/ (analogical to forms of sefte "seventh" or the cardinal elleven)
