[seqfan] Re: A026081 Integers in reverse alphabetical order in U.S. English.

[Michael Porter]

Wouldn't the name for 10^963, "vigintitrecentillion", come after "vigintillion" in alphabetical order?  And the word for 10^3003 is "milliatillion", so I think there's a "vigintitremilliatillion", 10^9063.  I'm unclear on the order of the prefixes - would it be "tremilliavigintillion" instead?

After millia-, I think we stop making new prefixes and just repeat the millia- prefix, so 10^3000003 is a milliamilliatillion.  So since milliatillion is alphabetically after milliamillia-anything, the second term (after zero) is well-defined (I think).

Are we allowed to have a sequence that starts with a >9000-digit number?
