Sobre el origen de los numerales vascos “ehun” y “(h)ogei” Observaciones vascológicas de un germanista

Abstract

This article is dedicated to the origin of the Basque numerals eun, ehun, egun “100” and (h)ogei, (h)egoi “20”. In his hypotheses, the author starts off first of all with L. Michelena’s research, as well as with the modern theory of the formation of the numerals, above all from some recent work carried out on the subject. In search of confirmation for some of his reconstructions, he also turns to the history of the Basques in Roman times and the era of the Visigoths as a recourse.
