English version of Afrikaans “gros”, meaning 144 [closed]

Solution 1:

The term gross is used in English:

In English and related languages, several terms involving the words "great" or "gross" (possibly, from French: grosse thick) relate to numbers involving a multiple of exponents of twelve (dozen):

A gross refers to a group of 144 items (a dozen dozen or a square dozen, 12²).

A great gross refers to a group of 1728 items (a dozen gross or a cubic dozen, 12³).

A small gross or a great hundred refers to a group of 120 items (ten dozen, 10×12).

The continued use of these numbers in measurement and counting represents a continuation of the tradition of the duodecimal number system in everyday life and has encouraged groups such as the Dozenal Society of America to advocate for a wider use of such a numbering system in place of decimal.
