but, leventy-leven is *much more common - well, 219 gh. and there is much disagreement on the decimal equivalent thereof. eleven? twenty-one? seventy-seven? 101? 111? 121 (11 x 11)? or is it the same as eleventeen?
-joe (numbers are so inexacting) friday
edit: OED2 actually defined eleventeen as twenty-one!
editē: this unexpectedly cropped up on Google[books]:
