Alternative forms edit
Etymology edit
Inherited from Middle French huyct, from Old French uit, from Latin octō, from Proto-Indo-European *oḱtṓw.
The h- was added in Middle French to avoid confusion with vit when the letters u and v were not distinguished; compare the same in huile, etc. That huit does not undergo initial liaison is in fact due to a general rule for numerals (compare un, onze), not to a historically aspirated onset.
Pronunciation edit
- (aspirated h) IPA(key): /ɥit/ (independent and before vowel or mute h)
- (aspirated h) IPA(key): /ɥi/ (before modified word in a consonant or aspirated h)
- Rhymes: -it
