dc.description.abstractThe Slavic word četa, which is found in modern Slavic languages with the meanings 'pair', 'band', 'troop', is shown to originate in PIE *kwet-, the root that underlies the PIE word for 'four'; the Slavic meaning 'pair' suggests that the root may go back to an earlier pre-PIE meaning 'two', cf. Hungarian két, Finnish kaksi.
