Why is this compound named this way Is 6-ethenyl-4-(prop-2'-enyl) octa-6-en-3-ol a valid name?

I recently study organic chemistry and I read a book by Sana Jamshaid. I came across this compound and I cannot understand why it named like that. I6-ethenyl-4-(prop-2'-enyl) octa-6-en-3-ol:

6-ethenyl-4-(prop-2'-enyl) octa-6-en-3-ol

I understand that the longest chain is 8, hence octa (but if we go up on the 4th longest can be 9) but I don't understand the 4-(prop-2’-enyl)4-(prop-2’-enyl). Are there any explanations to why the compound named in such way? The double bond also sits on the 7th and not the 6th. Here are the picture of the compound the compound

Thanks in advance for answering! Edit : realized another miss
