須臾

Rfv-sense for Chinese: 10^-15. @A garbage person Dokurrat (talk) 06:53, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

FWIW, the KDJ lists the same sense for Japanese, and the ZH WP article also mentions it. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │^{Tala við mig} 23:36, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

@Eirikr: Chinese and Japanese are different languages. And Wikipedia itself is not a primary source. Dokurrat (talk) 04:51, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

@Dokurrat -- Yes, I'm fully aware of that. Japanese terms such as this are primarily borrowings from Chinese, which is why that might be relevant. And I listed the WP link within that same "FWIW" context, i.e. for reference in case it provides any useful leads, and not as a definitive source. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │^{Tala við mig} 16:01, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I'm relying primarily on Wiki entries and unsourced Chinese blogs. I used w:Chinese_numerals#Small_numbers as my starting point. I've also found blog, which has very loose sourcing on its claims. I'll work on getting some backup from the internet. In the meantime, I found a that "Fleeting Footsteps" by Lam Lay Yong is English translation of some of the old Chinese Buddhist texts that use these very small numbers. I'll work on getting a copy to trace the source. -- A garbage person (talk) 22:35, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
