STEENTH

steenth:

- one sixteenth
- latest one in an indefinitely long sequence

Example: A jiffy later, I was on my way up, and another steenth of a jiffy I was at the eaves, and, being a very good climber, I scrambled up the other little ladder that was made out of nailed-on boards, to the red brick chimney. [Reference: Shenanigans at Sugar Creek by Paul Hutchens]
