Albanian cardinal numbers

    Cardinal : shtatë

Etymology

From either Proto-Albanian *śe(p)tá-tā, or Proto-Albanian *źe(p)tá-tā, from Proto-Indo-European *septḿ̥-t-, a suffixed form originally meaning "group of seven", from Proto-Indo-European *septḿ̥.

Without the suffix, PIE *septḿ̥ would've lead to Proto-Albanian *śe(p)tan/*źe(p)tan, to Albanian **shta(n).[1]
