Anglish is a form of puristic English where all French/Latin derived words (and often others) are removed from English, leaving just the germanic base. A lot of anglish words look like this
If you'd wanna copy from German, qualitative could be highworthy.
And in anglish, you would've to get rid of "number" as well. Perhaps "tally" or something related is the stand-in (from Dutch taal and german Zahl).
I was taught maths from a guy with a really strong London accent which resulted in both words sounding the same, approximately qua-i-a-ive. Which made the lesson tricky to follow.
If feely is qualitative, as in having an apparent attribute or non-countable comparative then touchy would be the subjective observer attributing the characteristic or determining the comparative.
In other words, touchy feely.
I'm unsure whether touchy and the objective observer would be different, though the objective observer may be called, "county"

That whole channel is a goldmine of quirks, curiosities, and facts about English in general.
Robwords is a good channel, good to see it being recommended
county makes more sense when paired with feely.
Too easy to misspell.
even better. i wouldn't mind seeing scientific papers with the word cunty every now and then
Also "cunty" can happen when you ignore "feely" too much.
petition to replace "quantitative" and "qualitative" with "arithmetic" and "characteristic"
Quantitatititative I always do a double check.
how do you pronounce that without ending up beatboxing
Theres at least 2 tits in there so just ask a man to read it for you
Until I used spell check I wasn't even 100% sure this spelling was made up
I think the feely people prefer the term "holistic."

And we go down the road to Stupidity
Dumbitative.
Do I dare ask what "touchy" is in that case? (Heisenberg says I cannot know the answer to all three.)
