I was with you fapper, if that means anything...
But I recognized your use of the prefix deca (or sometimes written deka) as the numerical prefix (from Greek δέκα), denoting a factor of 10 to the first power or ten.
By way of information, numerical prefixes are often used to construct words that refer to a specific quantity of something. For example, in chemistry, carbon dioxide refers to a molecule containing two (di) oxygen atoms. A tetrahedron is a polyhedron with four (tetra) identical faces. A pentagram is a five-pointed star figure.
The following numerical prefixes are from the Greek language:
1. mono
2. di
3. tri
4. tetra
5. penta
6. hexa
7. hepta
8. octa
9. ennea
10. deca
11. hendeca
12. dodeca
13. triskaideka
20. icosa
21. icosihena
30. triconta
40. tetraconta
50. pentaconta
60. hexaconta
70. heptaconta
80. octaconta
90. enneaconta
100. hecta
1000. chilia (ch pronounced /k/ in English)
10,000. myria
You will note from this list that deca does not denote 11 - but since Fapper posted that - I'll assume it was "said" dripping with sarcasm. But since we now have ten and eleven covered.... and if you will notice that I addressed 12 in this post (and just did so again)... feel free to move on to 13...
