Ogdoad ... Plus

Today's word is "ogdoad" ... OG-doh-ad ... the number eight or a group of eight. (Dictionary.com) 

Plus

A monad is just one,
A duad a group of two.
A triad's made of three,
A tetrad's four you see.

A pentad consists of five,

A hexad is only six,
A heptad is seven exactly,
An ogdoad is eight compactly.

An ennead is filled with nine,

And a decade's all of ten,
But we count one, two three,
Of numerals there is no end.
