Can someone please tell me what 예닐곱 means and give an example of its use?
I looked it up on wiktionary and it said it meant "six or seven." I have no idea when it's supposed to be used.

It can be used for approximate counting.
그 아이는 예닐곱 살 정도로 보인다
The child looks to be around six or seven (years old).
예닐곱 명의 남자들이 두 명을 폭행하고 있었다.
There were six or seven guys beating up two other guys
Here are some approximate counting
1~2 한둘(before counting unit:한두)
2~3 두셋(before counting unit:두세)
3~4 서넛,세넷(before counting unit:서너,세네)
2~4 두서넛(before counting unit:두서너)
4~5 너덧,네댓,네다섯,너더댓
5~6 대여섯
6~7 예닐곱
7~8 일고여덟,일여덟

It is used to describe a child around that age.
Ex: 에닐곱살 먹은 아이 -> a child of six or seven years
Like "thirtyish" or "twenty something", it carries a meaning of "around" or "thereabouts".
Korean has this characteristic of easily combining words to create new ones.
For example, all these are similar words:
한둘: one or two
두셋: two or three
서넛: three or four
너댓: four or five
대여섯: five or six
예닐곱: six or seven
여나무: ten or thereabouts
열댓: fifteen or thereabouts
