Having just had a puzzle game refuse to accept “milliard” as a word while accepting “billiard”* (which had me playing with pronunciation and stress patterns), I then had to go look up if “billiard” and “trilliard” exist in any integer naming systems. It turns out to be more complicated than I’d thought.

* yes, of course the game dictionary had the word for the pool ball, not the number.
