The High Fecundity racial states that it offers a 0.5% population growth per year. I assume that this is in error, and should really say 'per 10 (:turns)'?

This lead me to the following: How do we call a ten-turn population growth interval?

I have been using 'decaturn' in colloquial situations, it covers the meaning of the interval well. However, we might not want to introduce another term, so we could just call it a 10-turn period...

Opinions?

I prefer the 10-turn thing over the decaturn because it is easier to grasp. Decaturn might require explanation to some, while 10-turn period is always understood.

Mind you that either suffers from the fact that turn 35-44 is also a 10 turn period. For this reason I propose that rather than saying 10-turn period or decaturn we say 'every tenth turn'.

Since "year" is wrong regardless, I took the liberty of updating the High Fecundity entry to that for now but if anyone has alternative idea's, I'm open to changing it again, so let's hear!
