Dozenal English

The English language is fairly well-equipped with a nomenclature for dozenal arithmetic, having well-established terms for the first and second powers of twelve: one dozen and one gross. The situation is not so good at the third power, traditionally referred to by the rather awkward phrase "a great gross". Each higher power simply prefixes another "great", so the results quickly become unwieldy.

Instead of this, this wiki adopts the expedient of co-opting "galore", an English word of Irish origin, meaning "in abundance". This word is unusual in being a post-positive adverb; in other words, unlike other English modifiers, it always follows the word it modifies, and never precedes it. This means that we have an opportunity to ascribe another meaning to it if we position it pre-positively, without necessarily interfering with its customary meaning when post-positioned.

Therefore, Primel proposes to use one galore for the third power of twelve, one dozen galore for the fourth power, and one gross galore for the fifth. For higher powers still, Primel concatenates "galore" with a numeric prefix derived from Classical Latin or Greek, indicating a certain power of one galore. Thus, rather than coining an analog for "million", Primel proposes calling the sixth power of twelve one bigalore, the seventh power of twelve one dozen bigalore, the eighth one gross bigalore, the ninth one trigalore, and so forth.  This avoids replicating the contentious and confusing irregularities seen in decimal in the long- and short-scale million systems.
