Etymology
Δυό is a spoken-register spelling of δύο, the ordinary Greek word for the number two. It descends unbroken from Ancient Greek δύο, which itself continues a Proto-Indo-European numeral. The word has kept the same basic shape and meaning for thousands of years, unlike most vocabulary, because core numerals resist change.
