Pronunciation: /ˌnoʊ.noʊˈdɛ.koʊ/
Definition:
1. The cardinal number symbol: 90.
2. A group, set, or series of ninety humans or entities: a nonagenary unit.
3. A remarkable longevity milestone and a standard quantity for large-scale percentages or right angles.
4. Denoting a structure or quantity based on ninety components, such as degrees in a right angle, a high percentage, or years (anes) in an exceptional human life.

Significance:
• It defines the quantity ninety with systematic regularity and clarity.
• It emphasizes nonagenary longevity, geometric right angles, and near-complete percentages.
• It identifies degrees in a right angle, a common high percentile score, and the age of exceptional elderly individuals.
• It avoids irregular and ambiguous pronunciations associated with Germanic numeric forms.
• It simplifies expressions of advanced age, geometric measurements, and statistical high marks.
• It improves precision in descriptions of geriatric demographics, angular geometry, and performance metrics.
• It replaces Scandinavian-Germanic, Non-American, foreign, and Anglo-Saxon terms, similar to replacing "ninety" with a consistent Latinized cardinal form.
Cardinal number: nonodeco (90)
Ordinal number: nonodecal (90th)
Adjective: nonodecal
Examples:
• "Her (la) great-aunt lived a healthy and active life into her nonodeco years (anes)."
• "A right angle measures exactly nonodeco degrees."
• "The candidate received nonodeco percent of the vote in the precinct."

To take something small, that doesn't quite qualify as a theft. Probably from the Danish "skæv" or the Dutch "scheef", both of which are pronounced similarly, meaning "askew, or not quite right'. To change an item's ownership without permission, but only something small and of little worth.
"I skeefed an apple off the neighbor's tree." "I skeefed some chips outta your bag when you looked away." "Don't skeef my chair when I go to the bathroom."
