"My first is a number, my second another,
And each, I assure you, wil rhyme with the other.
My first you will find is one-fifth of my second,
And truy my whole a long period reckoned.
Yet my first and my second(nay, think not I cozen),
When added together will make but two dozen."

How many am I?

Name the common English 6-letter word which contains 5 different pronouns spelled out within the word.

As a whole, I am both safe and secure.
Behead me, and I become a place of meeting.
Behead me again, and I am the partner of ready.
Restore me, and I become the domain of beasts.
What am I?
