senary (SEN-uh-ree) - adj., of or relating to the number six; consisting of six members. n., the numbering system using base 6.


If I'd planned this better, I'd've run this in the same week as octonary, oops. Fun fact: when expressed in senary, all prime numbers other than 2 and 3 have the final digit either 1 or 5. Taken around 1660 from Latin sēnārius, containing six, from sēnī, six each + -arius, adjectival ending, from sex, six.


Admin note: due to work deadlines and other external obligations, posting might be erratic for the next two weeks.
