Hi Khemaramsi,
I guess the idea works like this:-

Full 2 full 3 full 4 and half 3 (2-30pm) half four (3-30 pm)
German being a close to Sanskrit Indo-Germanic language uses the same construction. Here is an example:-

I will meet you at 2-30 .... Ich werden treffen Sie an halb trei (at half 3)

Dear friends

ad.d.hateyya means 'two and a half'.
ad.d.ha meas a half, teyya means three. How come the
compound means two and a half? Could anyone of you
show me the vigraha (in Pali) of it? Thank you in
advance.^^
