thirnig : thirty
The Illunse word for thirty is thirnig. Thirnig is a last name which can be from Saxony.
This word is a mixture of the Old English word for thirty which is þritig ( I transliterate as thritig), and the Latin word for thirty which is triginta.
Thirnig doesn't begin with the word for Illunse word for three, ther. Although it's close. The Old English and the Latin words for thirty also have close, but not exact, relationships with their numbers for three.
