Duodecimality

/ˌduːoʊdɛsɪˈmæləti/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of being based on or related to the number 12; the mathematical properties of a duodecimal system.

Etymology

From duodecimal + '-ity' (suffix forming abstract nouns). The suffix '-ity' converts adjectives into nouns representing abstract qualities or conditions, similar to how 'personal' becomes 'personality.'

Kelly Says

It's a niche but surprisingly devoted community that shows how people can be excited about completely different ways of organizing numbers.
