You seem to be ignoring the "no repeated letters" requirement. If
repeated letters were allowed then something like "fifty-one
thousandths" would have to be considered (or even "one thousand nonillionths").

"Betttuch" is an example of a German word that contains the letter "T" repeated three times. It means "bed sheet."

No it shouldn't. You wouldn't say "Five thousand miles".

Good point. In English we have "a pair" and "a brace", both meaning two. I suspect we could manage to arrive at a number including the letter 'a',
which is less than a thousand, without resorting to dialect.
