twelfths
Inches per foot
Twelfths is the plural of twelfth—the ordinal position after eleventh, or one of twelve equal parts.
The word clusters three consonants at the end, making it notoriously difficult to pronounce: Twelfths is one of the hardest English words to say.
In music, a twelfth is an interval spanning an octave plus a fifth.
