Numeral

IPA: /fiːf/, /fiːv/ Forms: fife [alternative], fif [alternative], fyve [alternative], vif [alternative], vive [alternative]
Etymology: From Old English fīf, from Proto-West Germanic *fimf, from Proto-Germanic *fimf, from Proto-Indo-European *pénkʷe. Though Old English fīf was usually indeclinable, inflected forms of it are far from unknown. Forms with final -v- originate from intervocalic voicing in these inflected forms.
