Subject: forty-twelve



In response to an earlier message about 'forty-eleven," I have heard the

usage of the phrase 'forty-twelve.' In a numbering sequence, 1 would mean

alone, 2 a couple, 3 a few, 4-to-12 a many, and then from 13-to 19 the teens

In my hearing of the term 'forty-twelve' it means any number of things, peo-

ple, etc. numbering between four and twelve.
