Are there languages for which the word "first" is built with the word "one" ? In many languages I know there exists a suppletion :
- English : first-one
- French : premier-un
- Latin : primus-unus
- Hebrew : ראשון-אחד
In Hebrew particularly, it is interesting that in the Bible one finds אחד with also a meaning of first : יום אחד (Gen 1), באחד לחודש (Deut 1).
So do you know languages for which there is no suppletion for 1-1st ?
And in particular do you know a theory for this particular suppletion, or any article about it ?
Thx
