The ⚀quadqua·timel (104z ⚀timels) is equivalent to the bicia·day (10−2z ⚀days). This comes out to exactly 600d|420z seconds, or ten minutes. This is equivalent to a dozen ⚀trices. It's interesting to note that the decimal figure for “10d minutes” resembles the equivalent dozenal figure for “10z ⚀trices”. (Twenty (20d) minutes is equivalent to two dozen (20z) ⚀trices, thirty (30d) minutes is equivalent to three dozen (30z) ⚀trices, and so forth.)
In the past, dozenalists have suggested naming this time unit the "temin", as a corruption of “ten minutes”. However, deriving a name for a dozenal unit from a decimal word ("ten") and from a unit ("minute") not appearing as part of a dozenal metrology, does not seem very apt. The same argument can be leveled against an SNNz-compatible construct such as "deca·minute". Instead, Primel proposes nicknaming this the ⚀breather, given that is a typical duration that one might “take a breather"—as in the common idiom “take ten” (that is, ten minutes).
