Eight, in my words
The Illunse word for eight is otha. Otha is an uncommon masculine first name and a rare last name. Otha translates to climb in Bengali (tranliterated). Otha translates to lip in Hindi (tranliterated). Otha is the name of cities in Pakistan and Turkey.
This word is a mixture of the Latin word for eight, which is octo, and the Old English word for eight, which is eahta.
