[ubhjfyxs] Words for the hyperoperation hierarchy

tetrate
pentate
hexate
heptate
octate
enneate ennate (merging consecutive vowels) nonate (Latin creeps in, as with polygons: John Conway "Naming Polygons" in newsgroup geometry.pre-college)
decate
hendecate undecate
dodecate duodecate
tridecate triskaidecate
3 = triate trate
2 = biate bate duate diate date
1 = monoate monate unuate uniate unate

These are the most silly ways of saying add, multiply, and raise to a power.

tetration
pentation
hexation
heptation
octation
enneation ennation nonation
decation
hendecation undecation
dodecation duodecation
tridecation triskaidecation
3 = triation tration
2 = biation bation duation diation dation
1 = monoation monation unuation uniation unation

Tetration = tetra + iteration, yielding tetraration, but substituting rar = r because it is awkward for the special case of tetra only.

pentaration
hexaration
heptaration
octaration
ennearation ennaration nonaration
decaration
hendecaration undecaration
dodecaration duodecaration
tridecaration triskaidecaration
3 = triration
2 = biration duration diration
1 = monoration monaration unuration uniration unaration

Of course, tetration is enough.
