Note
One syllable is enough to take the suffix: standard usage prefers this form to more odd. It belongs with the 'strange, unexpected' meanings, so a family's habits or a painting can be odder than another. The counting meanings, such as an unmatched sock, a coin left over or an occasional visit, describe a state rather than a degree. They are usually not compared at all.
