πέμπτος

See also: πεμπτός

Ancient Greek

Etymology

From Proto-Hellenic *penkʷtos, derived from Proto-Indo-European *pénkʷe. Equivalent to πέντε (pénte, five) + -τος (-tos, adjectival suffix), but the Proto-Hellenic labiovelar *kʷ developed into the labial π (p) instead of the dental consonant τ (t).
