\begin{definition}[Definition:Number Names/Numbering of Sheep]
There are a number of traditional system of numbers used for counting sheep in certain locales in the British Isles.
This is one example:
{{begin-axiom}}
{{axiom | n = 1
        | lc = '''wan'''
}}
{{axiom | n = 2
        | lc = '''twan'''
}}
{{axiom | n = 3
        | lc = '''tethera'''
}}
{{axiom | n = 4
        | lc = '''methera'''
}}
{{axiom | n = 5
        | lc = '''pimp'''
}}
{{axiom | n = 6
        | lc = '''sethera'''
}}
{{axiom | n = 7
        | lc = '''lethera'''
}}
{{axiom | n = 8
        | lc = '''hovera'''
}}
{{axiom | n = 9
        | lc = '''dovera'''
}}
{{axiom | n = 10
        | lc = '''dick'''
}}
{{axiom | n = 11
        | lc = '''wanadick'''
}}
{{axiom | n = 12
        | lc = '''twanadick'''
}}
{{axiom | n = 13
        | lc = '''tetheradick'''
}}
{{axiom | n = 14
        | lc = '''metheradick'''
}}
{{axiom | n = 15
        | lc = '''pimpdick'''
}}
{{axiom | n = 16
        | lc = '''setheradick'''
}}
{{axiom | n = 17
        | lc = '''letheradick'''
}}
{{axiom | n = 18
        | lc = '''hoveradick'''
}}
{{axiom | n = 19
        | lc = '''doveradick'''
}}
{{axiom | n = 20
        | lc = '''bumfit'''
}}
{{axiom | n = 21
        | lc = '''wanabumfit'''
}}
{{end-axiom}}
and so on.
Prime.mover remembers a song learned at school in which the chorus ran:
:''Yain tain eddero peddero, yain tain eddero jig''
which was built from another such system.
The children's nursery rhyme:
:''Hickory dickory dock''
:''The mouse ran up the clock''
:''The clock struck one''
:''The mouse ran down''
:''Hickory dickory dock''
appears to use versions of the shepherds' words for $8$, $9$, $10$ as its first and last lines.
Again, the children's counting game:
:''Eeny meeny miny mo''
:''Catch a [ethnic minority] by his toe''
:''If he squeals let him go''
:''Eeny meeny miny mo''
appears to use the shepherds' numbers for $1$, $2$, $3$ and $4$.
