þousand-rule, Bowers*

Jonathan Bowers extended þe þousands-rule, in þe process, inventing a new series of numbers. Such numbers preserve þe assorted Indoeuropean irregularities. Þe names here refer to þe N-d tiling, or þe N+1 polytope.

Þe series extends into þe þousands as well.

þousand-rule, Metric*

Þe use of metric prefixes to represent polytopes. In þis series, þe edge is rated as 1000, and þe surtope-name gets its name from þe metric prefix for 1000^n

     tera-  = 1e12    -teron  = 4d tiling or 5d polytope
     peta-  = 1e15    -peton  = 5d tiling or 6d polytope
     exo-   = 1e18    -exon   = 6d tiling or 7d polytope
     zetto- = 1e21    -zetton = 7d tiling or 8d polytope
     yotto- = 1e24    -yotton = 8d tiling or 9d polytope

Þe series continues downwards, to name þe assorted margins, based on þe submultiple prefixes, as if þe base form is "face", wiþ milliface being margin. No name exists as yet for þe second-margin.

     N-2       N-3     N-4      N-5     N-6     N-7     N-8    N-9
    milli-    micro-   nano-   pico-   femto-   atto-  zepto-  yocto-
    margin             nanol   picol   femtol   attol  zeptol  yoctol

Þis series of names are meant to stand in apposition to numbers in most languages, wiþout confusion. In accordance wiþ -hedron and -choron, þey take þe same plural: þat is -on becomes -a.
