About these units
Lakh (lakh)
One hundred thousand (10⁵). The standard unit in the Indian numbering system, written 1,00,000.
Gambling stakes may have named the lakh. The Sanskrit word lakṣa originally meant a mark, a target or a stake in gambling, and in the Classical Sanskrit of the Gupta era it became the numeral for 100,000. English borrowed it from South Asia, and other languages did too: in Malay and Indonesian, laksa means 10,000 instead. The Indian numbering system gives a name to nearly every second power of ten, which is why a hundred thousand gets its own word rather than being called ten myriads or a hundred thousands.
A lakh is 100,000, written 1,00,000 under Indian digit grouping: the first three digits from the right form one group and every later group has two digits. It is the everyday system in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, where it is preferred over the international one. Rupee amounts are stated in lakhs, so 150,000 rupees is 1.5 lakh. Indian English also uses lakhs of as a loose phrase for very many, and formal publications usually give foreign currencies in the international system and rupees in lakhs and crores.
1 lakh = 100,000 pieces (exactly).

Score (score)
Twenty items. Seen in 'threescore years and ten' and 'four score and seven years ago'.
Score is a counting word for twenty, and it likely began as a notch. The Old Norse skor meant a notch or tally cut into a stick, and every twentieth mark was made larger, so the word came to mean twenty itself. English often pairs it with a number, as in threescore or fourscore. People also use scores loosely for a large, unspecified number.
Two famous passages keep the unit visible. In Psalm 90:10 of the King James Bible, the days of our years are threescore years and ten, which is 70, or fourscore, which is 80, if strength allows. And on November 19, 1863, Abraham Lincoln opened the Gettysburg Address with four score and seven years ago, meaning 87 years, which counts back to 1776 and the Declaration of Independence. A score of years is simply two decades.
1 score = 20 pieces (exactly).
