Ignore it. google translate garbage. Probably meant 4 counts. Who cares ?
The term "words" is incorrect - it should be "digits". See below.
Elsewhere at the website you posted it says "Voltage measurement accuracy: ± (0.8% + 4 digits)" To see the above, go to that website, scroll down to Product guides and documents then click on User Guide (PDF). See the technical parameters.

I missed seeing that. Thanks much for pointing it out.
Cheers.
Shouldn't this have been obvious? This is the way meters are spec'd, a percentage plus some number of counts.
Has anyone seen a meter specified differently?
Dither.
"+" does not mean "or". It means PLUS. The total error can amount to 0.8% of full scale PLUS 4 counts.
That is a very standard way to specify error ranges because of different error sources.
what SOCs have a 4bit 2GHz converter?
almost certainly some MCU with a 10-12bit adc at maybe a MHz
