Sorry, but I only count 3 (or 4 if you pronounce the "e") syllables in "nonante-huit".

Sorry Stefan, but I strongly doubt that "nonante" for 90 and "septante" for 70 are widely used in Francophonie. The most widely used term should take precedence over regionalisms.

Normand "from Québec, Canada where "nonante" is *never,ever* used."
I'm sorry to admit that I didn't bother reading the whole conversation prior to replying first. I mistakenly assumed this was related to some planned documentation about EOMA, but it appears it was just iddle talk. So please disregard and carry on, nothing wrong in using regionalisms in a specific country... In French Canada we have a boatload of them! :-P
Again sorry,
Normand
