well if you only look at the suffixes....leven is less than teen. So you have to look at the prefix.

50 < ump

it's the ump. Ump is like unknown, or unlimited.

50-leven we know exactly how much it is. 50-11s. 550.

It could also be 5,011. Just like how 12-hundred means 1,200.

And you equation is wrong because even if you were right (which you're NOT lol) ump could still be less than 50.

But it's obvious that the suffix "teen" is meant to condense the possibilities into 13-19. So you lose.

No, the rule is anything ending in teen is a teen. So uh'teen is a nondescript teen number. Ump is not umlimited. It's just non descript. But even if it was unknown, we wouldn't know for sure that it was MORE than fifty.

I love that we are seriously debating the value of these fictitious numbers.

So what does that say about leven? That portion of the number would always be less than a teen, right?

Ump may not be unlimited but it is definately unknown. So there is a distinct possibility that it can be more than 50. And there is no way of telling what the true value of ump is until it has been set equal to something.

Where as 50 is a set, static, unchanging number.

So no matter how you look at it....5,011, 50-elevens, whatever....there are only a set number of possibilities for it....while umpteen can be limitless
