Etymology
By surface analysis, осем (osem) + -ме (-me). Epenthetic -ц- (-c-) is due to influence from пейцме (pejcme) and шейсцме (šejscme)[1], and also to break up the -мм- (-mm-) consonant cluster across morpheme boundaries.
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): [ɔˈsɛmt͡smɛ]
- Rhymes: -ɛmt͡smɛ
- Hyphenation: осем‧цме

Usage notes
- Only used with male persons. Elsewise, осмеро (osmero) is used. From numbers 7 and up, the cardinal number may also be used in lieu.
- Declension is optional for collective -ме (-me)-type numbers 7-10; 11-19 rarely decline; 20 and above are indeclinable.
