Potted Plant Balancing terminology
Potted Plant Balancing has proper terminology for how many plants are balanced: one is a monuple, two a couple, three a triple, four a quadruple, five a quintuple, six a sextuple, seven a septuple, eight an octuple, nine a nonuple, ten a decuple.
It keeps going: 100 is a centuple, and 1,000 is a milluple. Nobody has balanced a milluple. Yet.
