By its very nature, being the plural of a noun describing a mathematical division, it cannot be the only one! In fact if you think about it, there is (literally) an infinite progression: fifths, sevenths, eighths (that's five, sorry), ninths, tenths ...and so on. I'll get me cosine.

Henri, Sidcup
Kay (Friday's letters), I'm afraid you've quoted the most common words *mis-remembered* - the line is "For auld lang syne" (with no "sake" about it). My favourite line is "And we'll tak a right guid willy waught" which always made us snigger as children.
