Nine, New

{Nine, New} Why their spelling so similar?

English: {Nine, New}
French: {Neuf, Neuf}
Spanish: {Nueve, Nuevo}
German: {Neun, Neu}
Norway: {Ni, Ny}

Irish: {Naoi, Nua}

Italian: {Nove, Nuovo}

It was a long-forgotten legacy Base-8 system {0,1,2,...8}
NINE is the first of a NEW set of eight.
