[DCRM-L] 48mo?

[Noble, Richard]

I think by custom we stop worrying about the exact morphology after 0ctavo.
More common than format is "24mo", used by all of us because that's the way
we say it (since, per Gaskell, "vicesimoquarto is no longer used"); you
never hear "24 toe". It would all be moot if we could use the superscript o
and use sign language ...
