Does Wikipedia have an article on things that are counted in a way like this:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5A, 5B...
(Description: Some of the items being counted are designated as a single item with multiple parts designated with letters.) In the real world, I hear that there are a lot of things numbered like this. 66.245.66.35 20:36, 10 April 2004 (UTC)
How can theologically-entangled beliefs held by Bible scholars (about the timing of this event in the "Gospel" accounts) authentically inform us about Jewish methods of counting? Lyobovnik ( talk) 00:37, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
"Counting is the action of finding the number of elements of a finite set of objects." So does that include estimating? Burchman ( talk) 13:04, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
Re the comment: "In contrast, the English word 'fortnight' itself derives from 'a fourteen-night', as the archaic 'sennight' does from 'a seven-night'; the English words are not examples of inclusive counting." I disagree with this opinion i.e. "the English words are not examples of inclusive counting" They reference the 14th night and 7th night respectively hence they are archaic examples of inclusive counting among the Celts as this link supports re "sennight" for example http://www.infoplease.com/dictionary/brewers/sennight.html. So I think that error should be corrected.-- Immutable888 ( talk) 03:02, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
