fincanig : fifty
The Illunse word for fifty is fincanig. Fincanig is a misspelling of financing.
This word is a mixture of the Old English word for fifty which is fíftig, and the Latin word for fifty which is quinquaginta.
To make my Illunse word for fifty, fincaning, I modified one letter and transposed another. It's not quite the word for five plus the suffix nig. My Illunse word for five is finec.
I think this is enough number words for now. I'll come back to numbers again later.

Thanks! I hope my words are a logical mix of the Old English and the Latin words.
The variations in Illunse numbers are mostly due to the letters I had to work with. I'm trying not to cheat on letters.
