    92 tooghalvfems (twoand½fifths[core])
    100 hundred

    The 4½ = ●●●●◖ = [four +] ½fifth is not unique to Danish. In Czech, we say „čtvrt na osm“ (quarter to eight), „půl osmé“ (half of eighth) and „tři čtvrtě na osm“ (¾ to eight) to mean 19:15, 19:30 and 19:45, respectively, so I kinda get it.
    Similarly, in German, 🕢=„halb acht“.
