(-mr-t) Able to think and express oneself effectively in quantitative terms. Source: The American HeritageR Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition ------------------------- \Nu"mer*ate\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. Numerated; p. pr. & vb. n. Numerating.] [L. numeratus, p. p. of numerare to count. See Number, v.] (Arith.) To divide off and read according to the rules of numeration; as, to numerate a row of figures. Source: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary, C 1996, 1998 MICRA, Inc. ------------- Of course, the fundamental operation here is numbering things in a list. list.number() perhaps?
