Meaning & usage
twelve
Where this word comes from
From Middle Dutch twalef, twaelf (also twelef, tweelf), from Old Dutch *twalif, *twelif, from Proto-Germanic *twalif. The reason for the lack of umlaut in the form with a is unknown. It may be that the position between /w/ and (velarized) /l/ hindered umlaut in some dialects. Cognate with German zwölf, West Frisian tolve, English twelve, Danish tolv, Norwegian tolv.
