Several New Words: Fiveral, Sixeral, Eighteral, Nineral, Teneral, Eleveneral, Tweleveral, Thiteeneral

  1. same here. Some years ago, I became aware that "Several" is from three up to ten or so, but it *sounds* seven. I got here by googling "eighteral". Astonishing it took three years for the first comment to appear. So here it is. If you want to reply, I'm Paul Williams, written as "Paul_Wi11iams" (underscore and ones) on Reddit. I might take years to reply on Google.
