Interesting subject. In Sasxsek there are only 12 basic numerals, but there is also a
suffix (-aus) which can combine to mean "power of 1000" so we have:

Basic numerals:
	0 	non	(I'm thinking of changing this to "nul")
	1	jen
	2	duv
	3	san
	4	kuad
	5	kiq 	/kiN/
	6	ruk
	7	sep
	8	bat
	9	nauf
	10	ten
	100	hek

Derivatives:

	1'000		jenaus
	1'000'000		duvaus
	1'000'000'000	sanaus
	10^300		hekaus

So theoretically there really isn't a limit however it could make for some really long words.

But then there's ...

	menaus		men (PLURAL) + aus (1000^n)	= zillion,  "a big number"

Or even  ...

	menisaus	men + is (INTENSIFIER) + aus.	= "a very big number"
