Numerical Adjectives, Greek and Latin Number Prefixes INTERNATIONAL HOUSE OF LOGORRHEA In this page, I discuss a curious set of unusual words: adjectives and nouns for numerical values or multiples. What do you call a group of eleven musicians? An athletic competition with six events? An event that recurs every twenty years?

Because many of these words aren't found in dictionaries (particularly as the relevant numbers get larger), having some general principles can help. Thus, where other word lists of the Phrontistery are simply listed in "word: definition" form, this page will try to show you, in tabular format, how to construct your own terms from the basic principles, and to give you a better grasp of this tricky topic.
