Etymology
From Proto-Finnic *ükteksä, i.e. *ükt-e-ksä, consisting of an earlier form of yksi + a form of the negation verb ei + ksä, which has the same origin as the endings in the reflexive forms found in dialects, c.f. Kalevala forms such as istuikse = istuutuu (“he/she sits”), so that the combination means "one is not there", and "of ten" was implied or originally said. Compare kahdeksan (“eight”), which developed the same way.
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /ˈyhdekˌsæn/, [ˈyçde̞kˌs̠æn]
