 ==Chlouvānem==
 ===Alternative forms===
+* ''emi'' (used in counting)
+* ''yemibe'' (Archaic Chlouvānem; obsolete)
+* ''emibu'' (Classical-era dialectal variant; obsolete)
 ===Etymology===
+From Archaic Chlouvānem ''yemibe'', from [[Lahob languages|Proto-Lahob]] *jemibɨ (or *jemibə).
+The term is sporadically attested with initial /j/ (as ''yemibe'') in the earliest written specimens of Chlouvānem and, only once, in a Lällshag-Chlouvānem inscription (as ''jemibo'', reflecting a variant with final /u/); the word-initial /je(ː)/ → /e(ː)/ change was complete sometime before the period recognized as Classical Chlouvānem, and this, being such a basic word, has been proposed as one of the words where this change likely started.
+The quality of the last vowel in the reconstruction of Proto-Lahob is unclear, at least for what concerns the Chlouvānem branch: the Classical-era dialectal variant, as well as the combining form, with /u/, reflect *ɨ; most of its declension, with /a/, reflects *ə instead, while the final /e/ in the nominative form is an irregular change, possibly triggered by the following three numbers in the sequence ending in a front vowel (cf. ''dani'', ''pāmvi'', ''nęlte'').
