Attention may be here drawn to the remarkable fact, that in these, as in so many other languages of the Aryan family, "new" and the number "9" can be referred to the same word, whilst at the same time the 'number "8" shows a dual form, where such distinction is made. In such cases the original numeral if connected with the human hand has to be referred to the four fingers, excluding the thumb.
