New Data: Definition: digit/number: $n$ (default: $1$ or $1/2$ atomic units as the case may be) more than half; barely a majority; a slight majority. Notes: $n$ is specified by the following digits; for example: "so'e'u{pare}" means "$12$ more than the floor of half" (note that atomicity of the members of the quantified set is implicitly assumed by $n$ being an integer). When the quantified set has well-defined atomic members (such as people in a population) and is finite and non-empty (hereinafter Case #1), and when $n$ is the default value aforementioned, then this word refers to the smallest cardinality which strictly exceeds half of the cardinality of the original set; if the quantified set is continuous (hereinafter Case #2), then this word refers to what may be conceptually captured by "$(1/2) + n \varepsilon$", where $n$ is as specified in the definition supra (default: $1$) and where $\varepsilon$ is an infinitesimal or similar. Without a preceding "{pi}" or "{pi'e}", the output/referent quantity in Case #1 refers to an integer which happens to equal $n$ more than the floor of half of the cardinality of the total applicable set which is being quantified; with "pi" or "pi'e" preceding this word, the quantification is converted to a relative count, which is conceptually and approximately "50% + $n \varepsilon$" (note that exact value of $N$ will affect the exact presentation of the proper mathematical formula), where the cardinality of the referent quantified set is $N$ and where $\varepsilon$ either denotes $1/N$ in Case #1 or is as described supra in Case #2. This word is good for discussion of, for example, elections which operate and decide outcomes by bare, absolute majority. See also: "{so'e}". Jargon: Gloss Keywords: Word: 50% + (1 individual), In Sense: Word: slight majority, In Sense: Word: barely a majority, In Sense: Place Keywords: You can go to to see it.
