Sixty, in my words

sisanig : sixty

The Illunse word for sixty (60) is sisanig.

This word is a mixture of the Old English word for sixty which is siextig, and the Latin word for sixty which is sexaginta.

Sisanig is not quite my word for six plus the suffix nig. The Illunse word for six is sise. I decided to use an A from the Latin word.

There are no Quenya or Sindarin numbers in this range. Next up, my word for seventy.
