Or alds (like Icelandic öld, which can mean both "era, age" and
"century", nítjánda öldin "the 19th century"), or if the context
didn't make it clear whether you were meant "era" or "century", you
could always go with the obvious: taihuntehund jere "a hundred years",
twa hunda jere "two hundred years", etc.
