Is there a common nomenclature (not necessarily IUPAC) for naming linear alkanes with $n$ carbons without resorting to Greek/Latin numerical prefixes (hex-, hept-, etc.)?
For instance, is there a name for the higher linear alkane of $\mathrm{50}$ carbon atoms other than n-pentacontane? ("Not necessarily IUPAC" is meant in the same sense that $\alpha$, $\beta$, and $\gamma$ nomenclature don't follow IUPAC rules but are nevertheless often used to designate relative positions of carbon atoms)
