There probably isn't a lot to say about the obsolete word zenzizenzizenzic that means the eighth power of a number. However, as I was looking in World Wide Words for something else, I found it...and love it! Six zs! I think we should revive it! Big Grin

It's delightful. After I stopped laughing (and coughing, as I've got some sort of allergy thing going on or something) I had to figure out what the eighth power meant . . . and then I thought "why would you need a word for that?" and then I thought "are there odd words for, say, the 20th power and other things like that?

Lovely word, K - thanks for sharing.

Two to the eighth power is two hundred and fifty-six, a most holy number in the Cult of the Byte. Zah-zing Zenzic!


Ceci n'est pas un seing.
