Good teaser.
Trying very hard to find another word which might satisfy the requirements of this riddle, I came up with the word "vox":
v = Roman numeral, which is odd (5).
x = Roman numeral, which is even (10).
o = which is infinite in that it has no beginning and no end, like a wedding ring representing everlasting love.
Thanks for submitting!
