Seventeen, in J.R.R. Tolkien's words

The Quenya word for seventeen is otoquë.

If there are Sindarin words for numbers in the teens, I didn't find them.

The Quenya word for seventeen looks similar to Quenya word for seven which is otso.

Eight in Latin is octo, and eight in Spanish is ocho. I keep thinking the Quenya word for seven should be the word for eight instead.
