Talk:one and a half

This is apparently also attested as a common noun:

1. An instance of turning around one-and-a-half times, especially when leaping into water. (?)
   • 2007, Wolfgang Hunter, Trillionaire: How to Create and Sustain Hyper-Growth, page 33:

     Al stuck with one and a half open Pikes, while Alanna and Adam mixed it up with two and a halves and double twisting one and a halves. They even tried a few reverse two and a halves which drove Sandy crazy,

   • 2009, Bill Murray, Renegade Colonel, page 11:

     I did swan dives, jack knifes, back dives, half gainers, full gainers, belly flops, flips, one and a halves, doubles, and two and a halves.

2. A one-and-a-half ton truck.
   • (Can we date this quote?), Engineer Memoirs: Lieutenant General Arthur G. Trudeau, USA, Retired, page 91:

     "Couldn't you get along with two halves and three one and a halves? Then, if you can use one and a halves, couldn't you use jeeps instead?"

Great. Could you add it as a noun with citations, please? I will verify the Tamil word - the only translation I wasn't sure of (after verifying Greek) and perhaps will find where else this number is a single word. As far as I know, a few Indic languages have a word for "one and a half". --Anatoli ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 22:59, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
