Czech Words Containing Numbers

Authors

Stanislav Tvrdik

Abstract

Many English number-names can be imbedded in words or split between two words; Martin Gardner exploited the latter idea in a Kickshaws quiz. Alternatively, the sounds of number-names can be embedded. Similar games can be played in Czech; in fact, writing short stories with numbers substituted in appropriate words is a common logological pastime. The following summary of Czech number-words was translated by Harry Partridge of Manhattan Beach, CA.
