Eleven, in my words (revised)

aundice : eleven

The Illunse word for eleven is aundice. In Spanish aún dice translates to still it says.

This word is a mixture of the Old English word for eleven which is endleofan, and the Latin word for eleven which is undecim.

My Illunse word for eleven was previously uncefan. The new word is nearly a compound word of the Illunse words for one (aun) and ten (dicen). I've decided that my numbers will be base ten, not base twelve like Tolkien.

Wonder what the number eleven is in Sindarin and Quenya? Here's a link to my earlier post for Eleven, in J.R.R. Tolkien's words.
