Maybe someone mentioned it already, but German has "anderthalb" or
"eineinhalb" -- OK, the latter is just the three words written as one and
the second is a dialectical, though widespread variation. As for me, I'm
using "anderthalb" [And6t."hAlp] all the time. My mum once told me that
Allemanic as it is spoken in Lörrach and surroundings (at the end of the
southwestern tip of Germany) has "fünfviertel" ?[fYm"f:i6tl=]. Our Swiss
people might know that term as well.
