You didn't follow the whole thread, did you? 
One of the subject lines already said it: 10,000 

this is one of the number-forming elements:

{-maH}   x 10
{-vatlh} x 100
{-SaD}   x 1,000
{-netlh} x 10,000
{-bIp}   x 100,000
{-'uy'}  x 1,000,000

Add one of these to any number from 1-9 to form a bigger number:
{wa'} + {-SaD} = {wa'SaD}
"one" + "thousand" = "one thousand"

Read TKD, section 5.2 about numbers.
