synonyms
We should include any available references to the general terminology for division, portions, or fraction. i.e.: many == multi-/poli/poly/olig, two == bi(s)/duo/di(a) , one == mon(o)/uni/holo , half == semi/demi/hemi , third == ? , quarter == ? , fifth == ? , tenth == tithe, ... with disambiguation for implications of inclusion (holo) vs exclusion (mono).

olig(o) is few, not many. pluri is another prefix meaning many, as in the botanical term pluriovulate, meaning having many ovules (in a locule). [I was looking for the equivalent of demin/hemi/semi for thirds, quarters, sixths and eights (and possibly twelths as well).] 80.176.90.190 23:28, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
