    Latin centum did not decline, but the word is declined as a neuter o-stem noun in many Indo-European languages, and may have been declined in Proto-Indo-European as well. It is unclear what the situation was in Proto-Italic. If it declined, it would have been as follows:

    Declension of *kentom (o-stem)
    singular plural
