>As an additional aside, with an "i" instead of "e" we
have the only, actual English cognate [albeit, more
Anglicized than transliterated] with "kai" in

"triskaidekaphobia" = fear of 13.

This represents the standard KOINE pronunciation, transmitted 
thru a Byzantine spelling tradition.
PLEASE NOTE: I've changed the name of this thread because the 
Preferred KOINE number is DEKATREIS DEKATESSARES KTL
Not TREIS KAI DEKA.
