Powlured

Powlured: Adjective. For a word to have a new plural for every power of 2 that defines the quantity of the word. For example: 1 spouse, 2 spise, 4 spises, etc. This was originally used as a military tactic to quickly communicate the size of enemy forces; an example of how this is used to communicate size: instead of saying that there are 13 boxes; one would say that there are boxeses, boxes and a boc.
