Ärre
wījtē
Sentence 10 of the LCC4 relay text:
wÄ pa riÄ“n ancÄ“ ja serle ien jasÅra wÄ«jtÄ“ ja la lewÄ“ra lÄ;
The subordinate clause ja serle ien jasÅra wÄ«jtÄ“ ja la lewÄ“ra lÄ is “you say to me the three words that are my name!”
wÄ«jtÄ“ is the main word for three, and is derived from wÄ«j “half” and tÄ“ “six”. That’s because the older word for three is Ärre, which sounded a lot like Älle (“four”) and År (“eight/ten”). Ärre still is used in poetry and deliberately archaic speech.
