Abstract


In this brief article it is proposed that the problematic -g- of the Latio decad morpheme -gint- derives from a specifically Latin manifestation of the voiced sandhi variant of the Indo-European non-singular marker in *-k. This theory is based on some recent research concerning the evolution of the category of number and the system of numerals in Indo-European.
