Curiously in words related to ‘two’ the W is often pronounced!
Twin, Twixt, Between, Twelve etc
By the argument, is the w in “two” actually silent? What would it sounds like when pronounced? I think it would sound like “two” already does.
It would sound like “twu” as in “twu wuv”
Lol.
OK, Impressive Clergyman!
It sounds exactly like “to” which means the w is silent.
It is not pronounced at all like any of the other example words given.
I don’t necessarily think so. If the W was pronounced, I think it would sound something more like ‘tawoo’ or ‘teewoo’

Spell out that thang!

Side question?
Does twelve basically mean two eleven?
Twelve’s root is in meaning “two left”. And similarly eleven’s origin is meaning “one left”. In both cases left over from ten, the base unit of counting.
Interesting. This sorta makes sense actually.
Curious though, do you have a reference link?
The last time I was with a woman it was actually twoo, it was quite magical, I tell ya.
I’m going to just drop this here (be sure to watch to the end):
