Uḍḍha (-°) (ordinal number) [the apocope form of catuttha = uttha, dialectically reduced to uḍḍha under the influence of the preceding aḍḍim] — the fourth, only in compound aḍḍhuḍḍha "half of the fourth unit", i.e. three and a half (cp. diyaḍḍha 1½ and aḍḍha-teyya 2½) Ja V 417f. (°āni itthisahassāni); Mhv 12 53.

Ūna (adjective) [Vedic ūna; cf. Avesta ūna, Greek εὖνις, Latin vāpus, Gothic wans, Anglo-Saxon won = English want] — wanting, deficient, less M II 73; Ja V 330; Dhp-a I 77; Dhp-a IV 210. Mostly adverbially with numerals = one less, but one, minus (one or two); usually with eka (as ekūna one less, e.g. ekūna-aṭṭhasataɱ (799) Ja I 57; ekūna-pañcasate Pj I 91, ekūna-vīsati (19) Vism 287; also with eka in instrumental as eken'ūnesu pañcasu attabhāvasatesu (499) Ja I 167; eken'ūnapañcasatāni (deficient by one) Vin II 285; Pj I 91; sometimes without eka, e.g. ūnapañcasatāni (499) Vin III 284; ūnavīsati (19) Vin IV 130, 148. With "two" less: dvīhi ūnaɱ sahassaɱ (998) Ja I 255.

Eka (adjective-numeral) [Vedic eka, i.e. e-ka to Indo-Germanic °oi as in Avesta aeva, Greek οἶος one, alone; and also with different suffix in Latin ū-nus, cf. Greek οἰνός (one on the dice), Gothic etc. ains = English one] — one. Eka follows the pronoun declension, i.e. nominative plural is eke (e.g. Snp 43, 294, 780 etc.)
1. "one" as number, either with or without contrast to two or more; often also "single" opposed to nānā various, many (q.v.). Very frequent by itself as well as with other numerals, ekaṅgula one thumb Mhv 29, 11; Dhp-a III 127; ekapasse in one quarter Dhp-a II 52; ekamaccha a single fish Ja I 222. In enumeration: eka dve pañca dasa Dhp-a I 24. With other numerals: eka-tiɱsa (31) D II 2; °saṭṭhi (61) Vin I 20; °navuti (91) Dhp-a I 97; °sata (101) Dhp-a II 14. Cf. use of "one less" in ekūna (see under compounds and ūna).
-aṅga a part, division, some thing belonging to Ja III 308; Ud 69.
-ūna one less, minus one, usually as 1st part of a numeral compound, like °vīsati (20-1 = 19) Dhp-a I 4; °paññāsa (49) Ja III 220; °saṭṭhi (59) Dhp-a III 412; °pañcasatā (499) Dhp-a II 204. See ūna.
-vāraɱ once Ja I 292;
-vārena the same Dhp-a I 10.
-sama equal Ja VI 261.

Ekādasa (numeral) [Sanskrit ekādasha] eleven Vin I 19. — ordinal number ekādasama the eleventh Snp 111, 113.

Ettaka (adjective) [etta + ka, contrasting-comparative function, cf. tattaka] — so much, this much, according to context referring either to deficiency or abundance, thus developing 2 meanings, viz.
1. just as much (and no more), only so little, all this, just this, such a small number, a little; plural so few, just so many D I 117 (opposite aparimāṇa), 124; A IV 114; Nidd II §304 III (ettakena na tussati is not satisfied with this much); Vv 7912 (cf. Vv-a 307); Miln 10, 18 (alaɱ ettakena enough of this much); Dhp-a I 90 (enough, this much), 93, 399 (plural ettakā); II 54 (only one), 174f.; Vv-a 233 (a little), 323. — ettakaɱ kālaɱ a short time (but see also under 2) Ja I 34; Dhp-a II 20.
2. ever so much (and not less), so much, plural so many, ever so many, so and so many, such a lot A III 337; Ja I 207 (plural ettakā), 375 (neuter ettakaɱ); III 80 (the same), 94 (°ɱ dhanaɱ such great wealth); Miln 37 (plural); Dhp-a I 392, 396 (plural feminine ettikā), 397, 398; II 14, 89 (plural), 241 (plural so many); Vv-a 65 (dhanaɱ). — ettakaɱ kālaɱ for some time, such a long time (see also above, under 1) Dhp-a II 62, 81; III 318; Vv-a 330.
