I reckon.

**********************

I love that word! It has such a long history:

Etymology[edit] From Middle English rekenen, from Old English recenian (“to pay; arrange, dispose, reckon”) and ġerecenian (“to explain, recount, relate”); both from Proto-Germanic *rekanōną (“to count, explain”), from Proto-Germanic *rekanaz (“swift, ready, prompt”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₃roǵéye- (“to straighten, direct”). Cognate with Scots rekkin (“to ennumerate, mention, narrate, rehearse, count, calculate, compute”), West Frisian rekkenje (“to account, tally, calculate, figure”), Dutch rekenen (“to count, calculate, reckon”), Low German rekenen (“to reckon”), German rechnen (“to count, reckon, calculate”), Swedish räkna (“to count, calculate, reckon”), Icelandic reikna (“to figure”). See also reck, reach.
