You’re probably thinking of “shichi” which also means seven. Four also has two words, “yon” and “shi”. I know that four has an alternative word because “shi” also means “death”, hence why the number four is unlucky in Japan and other Asian countries, but I’m not sure of the explanation for the number seven.
