Parallel reading

الثمن، بالضم وبضمتين وكأمير: جزء من ثمانية، أو يطرد ذلك في هذه الكسور ج: أثمان.

وثمان، كيمان: عدد، وليس بنسب، أو في الأصل منسوب إلى الثمن، لأنه الجزء الذي صير السبعة ثمانية، فهو ثمنها، ثم فتحوا أولها، لأنهم يغيرون في النسب، وحذفوا منها إحدى ياءي النسب، وعوضوا منها الألف، كما فعلوا في المنسوب إلى اليمن، فثبتت ياؤه عند الإضافة، كما ثبتت ياء القاضي، فتقول: ثماني نسوة، وثماني مئة.

And thaman, like kaiman: a number, and not derived from a relation, or originally related to al-thaman, because it is the part that made seven into eight, so it is its eighth. Then they opened its first letter, because they change in derivations, and removed one of the two 'ya' of derivation, and replaced it with alif, as they did with what is derived from Yemen. So its 'ya' remained upon addition, as the 'ya' of al-qadi remained. So you say: thamani niswah, and thamani mi'ah.
