Hundred, in my words (revised)

hucent : hundred

The Illunse word for hundred (100) is hucent. Hucent is a rare last name. Hucent Technology Co., Ltd of Taiwan.

This word is a mixture of the Latin word for hundred which is centum, and the Old English word for hundred which is hundred (same as Modern English) or hundtéontig (ten decades?).

My previous Illunse word for hundred was cethund, before that it was hentund. I decided to start this word with H because no other Illunse numbers start with H.

There are no Quenya or Sindarin numbers for hundred. Tolkien didn't have his elves count numbers above twenty.
