Re: Ebisedian number system (I)

do i take it this is a much more sophisticates version of the english
use of words like pair, dozen, score &c ?

so 'four score', meaning 'around 80, give or take a few' would be
translated 'jekrekee'i' ( excuse my spelling ) meaning 'around 81, give
or take a few'

or have i missed the mark so far my dart's fallen in my pint ?

The basic idea is that the human mind isn't very accurate when it comes
to large numbers. Hence, as numbers get larger, the unit of counting
should also get larger. (Yes, this is inspired by the system from
somebody else's conlang. You are hereby acknowledged. :-P)
