Usage notes

Even in British and Commonwealth use, the Americanism metric ton is sometimes employed where confusion might arise with the traditional English tons of 2000 or 2240 pounds. Alternatively, variant pronunciations of tonne have been promoted to help clarify its meaning. In particular, the British steel industry advocated for the pronunciation /ˈtʌni/ ("tunnie") during the 1970s and /tɒn/ (rhyming with "Don") is sometimes used for the same purpose.

Woccon

Etymology

Compare Catawba nepe(ⁿ), nəpe(ⁿ), nepaⁿ, dəpe(ⁿ), dapa(ⁿ), dəpən, dube. Compare also noponne, which features in the word for "ten". Two Proto-Siouan roots for "one" can be reconstructed: Proto-Siouan-Catawban *nǫ(ːsa), rǫ(ːsa) (apparently whence this word) and *wįyą, each one found in one branch and almost entirely missing from the other. (*nǫ is importantly also found in Quapaw hi nǫxtį "once, one time", where -xtį is the morpheme denoting "_ times".)

Numeral

tonne

  1. one
