Whtevi edit

Etymology edit

The traditional reconstruction is from Old Whtevi *bjømti, from Awen *bjebnti, *bjeti, from Proto-Lyndian *biti (two).
However, it fits sound reflexes better to reconstruct an Old Whtevi form *ÿømti (pronounced /ɥœmti/), from Awen *wjebnti, *wjeti, from Proto-Lyndian *ɦʷiti. Cognates include Modern Basque bi (from Proto-Vasconic *bi (< *bii) + *-gar).
