Numeral prefix generator

Numeral prefix generator

Numeral prefixes are prefixes intended to represent numbers. A simple example are the names for polygons: triangle, (not square), pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, etc, the numeral prefix represents the number of edges of the polygon. This page generates Greek and Latin numeral prefixes from their decimal form.

While I created this specifically to generate these numerals for polytoponymy, where a Greek numeral represents the number of facets of a polytope and the Latin numeral might represent some other concept (see Lithic polyhedra), this still fits better in the Linguistics category as it can have much broader use.
