In Babel, the language of the Land of Story, the closest word which sounds like otha would be othelínge, whose plural is òtha, and it means “those who are smell, give off odors.” Phonetically though otha does remind me of Òsta, the name of a city in Qhòtlha, of òstakh, those who are fine, good, copacetic, Òstatar, the name of a Dragon, oswókhes, those who raise, lift, suspend something, and Òsyu, the name of a Sun. In terms of an actual word for eight they have the participle khé which is only used for base eleven scientific notation. The Real People delight in prime numbers, and their most extensive method of counting is based upon the number eleven, although they also employ threes and sevens from time to time.
