Name for 1/16 of something

(1/3) > >>

Chris Mr:
Hi,

After endless googling and head scratching, asking as many people as I can find, I haven't found the name (if there is one) for 1/16th of something.

If you have quarters the name is a quadrant, 8 is octant, so what's 16?

Of course, there might not be one, in which case any ideas for names would be appreciated!

I wondered about Hexarant, but it kind of infers six (from hexagon) as would hextant.

Sixteenth is going to be ambiguous in terms of everything else it has to fit with.

All suggestions gratefully received

Syntax Error:
An Ounce is 1/16

Maybe "Seizant" from the French for 16

ebastler:
My vote goes to "hexadecant". The term is mildly popular in chemistry, it seems.

themadhippy:
A teenth

Borrowing from British music notation, semihemidemisemi.  :scared:
