I was mostly thinking of the unun part?


"Ununpent" = "one-one-five"


One is "unum" in latin.


Thanks, that was what I was missing. I figured it was the un- prefix, which means something like non-existing. (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/un-#Prefix)


ununtrium (element 113)

> un un tri

> one one three

ununpentium (element 115)

> un un pent

> one one five

etc.
