My answer... not 100%, but quite 99%: Latin: duodecim = twelve, with "duo, duae, duo"... for two and "decem" for ten... "duodecimus, -a, -um" stand for the twelfth...
In italian, too, they say dodici, meaning they droped the "u" of "duo" as in english. And in german, too, the "c" in units has changed to a "z"...
And finally in french twelve is called "douze" and a number about twelve is more or less a "douzaine". Vic
