Etimološka veza između riječi El-ehad (الأحد) i El-vahid (الواحد) / The etymological link between the word Al-ahad (الأحد) and Al-vahed (الواحد)

Abstract

In this comparative language study on numbers in Semitic languages the following can be concluded: * First - cardinal and ordinal number in Semitic languages are made from different etymological bases. * Although there is a significant difference between first (cardinal and ordinal) numbers, there is a high level of overlap between other (cardinal and ordinal) numbers. We can also find the overlapping in some other, non-Semitic languages, such as: English, German and French, with some small exceptions, e.g. number two in English. * Most of Semitic languages takes the word وَحَدَ as a basis or أَحَدَ as a basis for the first cardinal number, whereas ordinal numbers belong to different etymological bases, which do not have any links with a number but only metaphorically express it. * There is an opinion that ordinal numbers appeared in a late phase of language evolution, and that cardinal numbers followed original forms from Semitic languages, which confirms etymological origin of ordinal (ثالث، رابع، خامس...) from cardinal (ثلاث، أربع، خمس...) numbers.
