Examples

“Twenty-seven is a threeven number⟳.”

“Are there terms in use⟳ anywhere for numbers equal to 0 mod 3, 1 mod 3 and 2 mod 3? I need⟳ to refer⟳ to these properties and would rather use⟳ established names than invent⟳ my own⟳. (If I do have⟳ to invent⟳ names, what do you suggest⟳? First thing off the top of my head is "even", "surodd" and "subodd". Maybe if the use⟳ of "even" was judged confusing, "threeven" would be a cute coinage)”

“It just seems utterly obvious to me, along the lines of people thinking 2 is cool because it's the only "even prime" (people do this). Three is the only "threeven" prime! Five is the only "fiveven" prime! It's just a restatement of the definition.”
