Score seems to be a measurement of quantity - I believe it means “tens of”. Two score means 20 - two score hundred (20,000, twenty-thousand, as mentioned on Garpike’s description).

In English, one score is 20. Two score hundred would be 4,000. I find it rather odd that they would re-use "score" as a measurement of quantity and change the definition. Could you clarify where you find something suggesting that they used a different value?

Oh, thank you for that clarification! I was trying to imply my uncertainty in the sentence, as I had never heard the term before, and in the entries it is used, the numbers seemed to make sense. I didn't even think to Google it. ������

That being said, I can tell you the average life expectancy of a Naturalist in Eorzea with my recent catch of a Heliobatis - naturalists on average live 4 score summers, so 80 years. "Some naturalists claim this particular species of wave kin can see up to a thousand summers... though, as the average life expectancy of a naturalist is but four score summers, these claims hold little weight."
