WHAT DOES PENT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Numeral prefix

Numeral or number prefixes are prefixes derived from numerals or occasionally other numbers. In English and other European languages, they are used to coin numerous series of words, such as unicycle – bicycle – tricycle, dyad – triad – decade, biped – quadruped, September – October – November – December, decimal – hexadecimal, sexagenarian – octogenarian, centipede – millipede, etc. There are two principal systems, taken from Latin and Greek, each with several subsystems; in addition, Sanskrit occupies a marginal position. There is also an international set of Metric prefixes, which are used in the metric system, and which for the most part are either distorted from the forms below or not based on actual number words.

I have to let it out slowly, carefully, so that I can turn it into a written work.
