Huh? TIL. Well, partly. Didn't actively know about the "sinds".
So, does this mean that "snes" is just a load of bull, or are we talking different ages of counting systems? After all, just like the link explains "fyrre", the Danish counting system seems as an amalgamation of multiple counting systems and words of the time.
