saved?
5/4aved = 5/4 + faved (short for favorited)
Though coincidentally, saved has the same practical meaning as faved.

Also, Tunco, I wasn't really asking what the proper way of saying it is (which has already been discussed in this thread); I was asking if anyone said it the way I say it.

I always combine the first sound of the number with "aved".

5aved/4aved = faved
3aved = thraved
2aved = taved
1aved = waved
0aved = zaved

Incidentally, I've actually seen all of those used on numa at least once except for 1aved.

I am sorry to say that this is not up for debate as far as I know. mahi is correct. I think it's safe to assume that "collab" has the same pronunciation as the same syllables in "collaboration", no?

well of course i know the verb is pronounced that way. but since collab isn't an official word[?], i think it's up for debate.
