After some great discussion on the community wall, a further developed system. Note that the word for "seven" has now changed from zos to vet and the word for "eight" has changed from eln to ot: one - gein ten - men A suffix of "-o / -no" is used for words for "twenty," "thirty," etc. The latter is used if the word doesn't end with "n." So: twenty - ziino Longer numbers are constructed greatest digit to smallest. Hyphens indicate multiplication. Two hundred and twenty - Ziin-ben ziino, "two-hundred twenty" In most cases it's fairly identical to English with the removal of "and." |
After some great discussion on the community wall, a further developed system. Note that the word for "seven" has now changed from zos to vet and the word for "eight" has changed from eln to ot:
one - gein
two - ziin
three - sed
four - hir
five - hen
six - sok
seven - vet
eight - ot
nine - nen
ten - men
eleven - men gein
twelve - men ziin
thirteen - men sed
A suffix of "-o / -no" is used for words for "twenty," "thirty," etc. The latter is used if the word doesn't end with "n." So:
twenty - ziino
thirty - sedno
fourty - hirno
fifty - heno
sixty - sokno
seventy - vetno
eighty - otno
ninety - neno
Longer numbers are constructed greatest digit to smallest. Hyphens indicate multiplication.
Two hundred and twenty - Ziin-ben ziino, "two-hundred twenty"
Two hundred and twenty one - Ziin-ben ziino gein, "two-hundred twenty one"
Two hundred and twenty-two - Ziin-ben ziino ziin, "two-hundred twenty-two"
Five thousand three hundred and eight - Hen-ton sed-ben ot, "five-thousand three-hundred eight."
In most cases it's fairly identical to English with the removal of "and."

hiith I beg to differ. It was clunky and long-winded whereas this is far more dense and concise. |
hiithI liked the old system :/
