Ever noticed this before? A guitarist from Biarritz showed me this last night, the word for "eight" corresponds for that of "night" in the same language:
english: eight - night
french: huit - nuit
german: achts - nacht
spanish: ocho - noche
italian: otto - notte
portuguese: oito - noite
Below that on his page he had the figure eight on its side.

I find it kind of interesting...
But I just finished a book called the Adventures of English so who am I to say?

It's even closer in german than you thought: acht - nacht |

Given the number of words in a language, the limited combination of sounds a language has, I am not surprised that there are two words that share the same sounds accross their translations in 6 indo-european languages.
Of course, this is not the key to this thread.
the key is "a guitarist from Biarritz".
