> (opposite meaning)

Funnily enough, e- means "out" (more fundamentally "from") and in- means "in(to)", so that's not an unexpected way to form opposite words.

But in this case, innumerable begins with a different in- meaning "not". (Compare inhabit or immiserate, though.)

    Yeah, English has so many quirks. As a software dev, the "enum" type cane to mind, making this one easier to spot. (shrug)
