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).gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 1 month ago

I think the feely people prefer the term “holistic.”

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.

Do I dare ask what "touchy" is in that case? (Heisenberg says I cannot know the answer to all three.)

If feely is qualitative, as in having an apparent attribute or non-specific 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”
