Etymology[edit]

From ἑπτά (heptá, seven), but the medial voicing is unexplained. See ὄγδοος (ógdoos), which also shows medial voicing.

Cognates include Old Church Slavonic седмъ (sedmŭ) (< *sebdmъ < *septmъ)

Adjective[edit]

ἕβδομος (hébdomosm (feminine ἑβδόμη, neuter ἕβδομον); first/second declension

  1. seventh
