Conlangingly, I'm not sure. If I make a Modern stage of Thagojian, they'll have all the
tools of modern math at their disposal, including Graham numbers and other
things too hideous to contemplate.
The largest number for which I have invented a word (in a natlang (English)) was
"sexgoogol", which I think means 10^(100^6), but I never could properly figure
out whether I'd constructed / interpreted it properly. Turns out it was the
wrong word to use for the quantity I had in mind, anyway, which IIRC was
"centillion".
I don't even remember the context it was in, but I have a vague feeling it had
to do with encryption and/or compression.
