Hecmegillio-illion

A  is an Epstein system number,a million raised to a hecmegillion:

1,000,0001,000,000 100,000,000 or 106*10 600,000,000.

It must be distinguished from a hectomegillio-illion which is 1,000,0001,000,000 1,000,000+2.

Either of these numbers is multiplied by a thousand by replacing the final "-on" with "-ard",or by a million by replacing the final "illion" with "-million",or by a thousand million by replacing the "-illion" with "-milliard".

Just as a hecmegillio-illion is created by raising a million to the hecmegillion (1,000,000100,000,000), a million can be raised to a first-order hyphenate by creating a second-order hyphenate:


 * A hectomegillio-illio-illion is a million raised to a hectomegillio-illion.
 * A hecmegillio-illio-illion is a million raised to a hecmegillio-illion.
 * A hecmegillio-illio-million is a million hecmegillio-illio-illion.
 * A hecmegillio-millio-illion is a million raised to a million hecmegillio-illion.

Thus also third-order hyphenates:


 * A hecmegillio-illio-millio-illion is a million raised to a hecmegillio-illio-million.

These numbers without their final consonants can be apostrophe prefixes denoting a number of layers of exponents:


 * a hecmegillio-millio-illio'hecmegillio-illion is a million raised to a stack of a hecmegillio-millio-illion exponents that are each a hecmegillion.
