in older dialects (like on the beverly hillbillies the double naught spy of Jethro) and like here in rural kentucky,

naught or aught means zero

It appears someone of our dialect held more sway in that time than we would today.

We got to name something and it stuck, with few remembering why.

I remember my pawpaw talking about the winters of aught 3 etc (1903).

Now I can talk about aught 6 (2006) to my grand kids. And they think me quaint --- archaic....
