seftonanig : seventy
The Illunse word for seventy (70) is seftonanig.
This word is a mixture of the Old English word for seventy which is hundseofontig, and the Latin word for seventy which is septuaginta.
At seventy the Old English words get lengthy and unweildy. It seems that hund means decade in compound words such as hundseofontig. For Illunse, I'm going to pretend the Old English word is instead seofontig.
There are no Quenya or Sindarin numbers in this range. Next up, my word for eighty.
This word was previously setonaning.
