Re: Ebisedian number system (I)

in icelandic the number one is singular, and two, three and four are
plural in form. after that they're invariable. however, one, two, three
and four also have so-called plural forms, which are used when counting
things that come in pairs.

any other examples of this ?

on millions, remember that british english counts in sixes rather than
threes, so :
million=1 000 000
billion=1 000 000 000 000
trillion= 1 000 000 000 000 000 000
&c

btw, bac counts in fives ( number of fingers on the hand ), and has a
new name for each power of 5 : 1, 5, 25, 125, 625 &c. it also has a way
of expressing vagueness, but this takes more explanation.
