dozen.

stasra, n. The digit twelve (see Numbers and Counting); archaically a small group (see etymology, below.)

etymology: Late Palace Oksirapho had several different expressions for the number 12, including stasra. From several attested idioms it seems the word could be taken to indicate a group of anywhere from 6-24 items. e.g., Mí stasra 'l stai, "a bunch of people."
