Usage notes
- The following noun is in the singular:
- fichead leabhar ― twenty books
- In the older, vigesimal system of counting in Scottish Gaelic, the numerals 40, 60, 80, 120, 140, 160 and 180 are denoted as multiples of 20, hence:
- dà fhichead leabhar ― forty books (literally, “two [times] twenty books”)
- seachd fichead leabhar ― 140 books (literally, “seven [times] twenty books”)
Derived terms
- air fhichead (“twenty-...”)
