Dialogue: 0,0:00:13.50,0:00:16.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Though the modern word odd has many meanings,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:16.54,0:00:18.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,mathematical or not,

Dialogue: 0,0:00:27.88,0:00:30.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of a vertical-pointed object,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:30.19,0:00:33.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,speakers of Old Norse modified this root

Dialogue: 0,0:00:55.94,0:00:59.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And over time, oddi began to refer
Dialogue: 0,0:00:59.33,0:01:02.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to something that wasn't matched or paired.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:02.53,0:01:05.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In Old Norse, oddi also came to mean

Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.68,0:01:11.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And odda mathr, the odd man,

Dialogue: 0,0:01:25.14,0:01:27.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And finally, in the 16th century,
