Comment: Initial ʕa- in Ag. is unclear (cf. in other dialects: Bursh. jiš̌u-r, Fit. jüfü-d, Burk. ifa-d; here the PL numeral obtained the initial ji- (je-) on analogy with *jewq̇ɨ- 'four' q.v.).

    Rather interesting is the Archi word for 'fifty': buχ:í (not buʎ:í). Since Archi names for tens are usually formed from simple numerals, this form presupposes *χ:ʷe 'five' - which can reflect PL *χ:ʷä (from a lax PEC variant *fɦä̆).

    See Гигинейшвили 1977, 97.
