Would you read it as a number in English though? "Two sixtillions one
hundred and sixty-four quintillions ... two hundred and thirty-six zee" (if
you are in the US) or "two quadrillions one hundred and sixty-four thousand
seven hundred and sixty-three trillions ... and thirty-six zed". I think if
it's an arbitrary string of characters, it makes more sense to read it as
characters, not as a number.

I do not see any advantage to affecting LI...LOhO.

One advantage would be not having two separate rules.
