Q. #notië n. “*counting” (Category: Amount, Quantity)

Q. #notië, n. “*counting” (Category: Amount, Quantity)

A word implied by maquanotie (VT47/10) and kaistanótie (VT48/11) from the late 1960s, both meaning “decimal system”. Helge Fauskanger suggested that nótie may mean “counting” (QQ/nótië), as in “*hand-counting” and “*ten-counting” respectively, but I prefer the form notie with a short vowel as is more typical of gerunds.
