Usage notes

[edit]

The highest of all attested Gothic numbers.

This number is a noun phrase with the literal meaning of β€œtwo decades of thousands”; as such, the numeral π„π…πŒ°πŒΉ (twai) and the nouns π„πŒΉπŒ²πŒΎπŒΏπƒ (tigjus) are both declined, and the noun πŒΈπŒΏπƒπŒΏπŒ½πŒ³πŒΎπ‰πƒ (ΓΎΕ«sundjōs) is in the genitive case.
