===Etymology===

From ''[[Contionary: chil|chil]]'' ‘three’ and ''[[Contionary: līkka|līkka]]'', an obsolete word for ‘great’.

===Pronunciation===
(''Grayis'') [[Guide:IPA|IPA]]: /ʧɪlˈli:k.ka/

===Number===
'''chillīkka'''

# twenty-seven. ''Because Grayis uses a nonal (base-9) number system, this represents the numeric value of 27, but the semantic value of 30 (10×3). Instead of the expected ''**chillā'', this number hearkens back to an earlier form, reflecting the base-3 origins of the number system, deriving from an original ‘great three’.''
