This numeral, which is, of course, not in common use, is _inuit kulit tatdlima nik kuleriartut navdlugit_ = 10 men 5 times 10 times come to an end.
It is worth noting that the word "great," which appears in the scale of the San Blas Indians, is not infrequently made use of in the formation of higher numeral words.

The African Mabas[121] call 10 _atuk_, great 1; the Hottentots[122] and the Hidatsa Indians call 100 great 10, their words being _gei disi_ and _pitikitstia_ respectively.
The Nicaraguans[123] express 100 by _guhamba_, great 10, and 400 by _dinoamba_, great 20; and our own familiar word "million," which so many modern languages have borrowed from the Italian, is nothing more nor less than a derivative of the Latin _mille_, and really means "great thousand." The Dakota[124] language shows the same origin for its expression of 1,000,000, which is _kick ta opong wa tunkah_, great 1000.

The origin of such terms can hardly be ascribed to poverty of language.

It is found, rather, in the mental association of the larger with the smaller unit, and the consequent repetition of the name of the smaller.

Any unit, whether it be a single thing, a dozen, a score, a hundred, a thousand, or any other unit, is, whenever used, a single and complete group; and where the relation between them is sufficiently close, as in our "gross" and "great gross," this form of nomenclature is natural enough to render it a matter of some surprise that it has not been employed more frequently.
