 Mighty Source Language: armenian
Etymology
Etymology of Creation: Ran across the idea that the fundamental concept of two is actually (one) pair. So the word for two should be related to the word for one. So backformed from Thaig (one). Found the Classical Armenian erk'u, which looked to me like it could be a sound change for Thaig and you. One and Two. I and You. Went looking then for Armenian word as pair and found "teghavorel," which looked even more like a sound change off of Thaig. Teghavorel means to fit or put (together) but also to Bestow, and that reminded me of Thule, which means bless. And I could see a development of a word for pair related to bless, that it is a blessing to be paired or small grouped. And I pretty much just bodged that together until it sounded right to me.

Fictional Etymology: From historical name, Aigthur, second king of the Fae, Thaig's twin, who succeeded him.
