Etymology
εννέα descends from Ancient Greek ἐννέα, the standard word for the number nine. It goes back to the Proto-Indo-European numeral for nine, which also gave rise to number words across most of the Indo-European family. The initial consonant cluster simplified in Greek, leaving the doubled nu that marks the word today.
