Pronunciation and morphology notes
Quatorze (Latin "quattuordecim") is a unique word, not "dix-quatre". It anchors two French cultural references: le quatorze juillet (Bastille Day, the national holiday) and Louis quatorze, the Sun King, whose 72-year reign is the longest of any major European monarch. The final /z/ liaises into a following vowel: "quatorze ans".
