twentithe in Middle English

IPA: /ˈtwɛnˌtiːð(ə)/, /ˈtwɛntið(ə)/, /-θ(ə)/, /ˈtwɛnˌtøːð(ə)/, /ˈtwɛntyð(ə)/ (note: Southwest Midland) [Show additional information ▼] [Hide additional information ▲]

Etymology: Inherited from Old English twēntigoþa; equivalent to twenty (“twenty”) + -the (ordinal suffix). The West Midland forms twenteuþe, twentuðe likely reflect late Old English *twēntēoþa, an alteration of twēntigoþa influenced by the ordinals for 11-19 in -tēoþa such as fīftēoþa (“fifteenth”); compare the reverse analogy in tithe, though Logan instead derives twentuðe from Old English *twēntugoþa, a vowel-reduced form of Old English *twēnteogoþa, either reflecting back umlaut of twēntigoþa or analogy to teogoþa, alternative form of tēoþa (“tenth”).
