The 4½ = ●●●●◖ = [four +] ½fifth is not unique to Danish. In Czech, we say „čtvrt na osm“ (quarter to eight), „půl osmé“ (half of eighth) and „tři čtvrtě na osm“ (¾ to eight) to mean 19:15, 19:30 and 19:45, respectively, so I kinda get it.
Similarly, in German, 🕢=„halb acht“.

Dude their 4 is fire.
German “halb acht” only refers to time tho.
Ours too. Just giving another example of this counting principle to show it’s not confined to Danish numbers.

German has the same problem but they can differentiate sechs/Sex by using halbduzend/Geschlechtsverkehr.
