Usage notes[edit]
Christianity introduced the short hundred (100), but the long hundred remained in use for a long time even after that, during which time hundreds were sometimes distinguished as heil (“whole”) or tólfræð (“twelve-tenned, duodecimal”) (for 120) or tíræð (“ten-tenned, decimal”) (for 100).
