Azirian numbers

This is an overview of number systems in various Azirian languages. Currently only Zariva is represented, but I plan on including representative samples of many other languages.

Zariva

The [Zariva] number system uses a combination of base 5 and base 7.

The numbers 1-7 are:

• 1: ai
• 2: ilai ("twice one")
• 3: ith
• 4: sai
• 5: min
• 6: minda ("one more than 5")
• 7: thú

Certain multiples of 5 and 7 have specific names:

• 10: hi
• 15: mist
• 25: ming
• 125: léshek
• 15,625 (125²): agálik
• 1,953,125 (125³): nuruthkest

• 49: thúsi

The numbers from 1 to 125 use various combinations of 5 and 7 with the following affixes: an- (one less), adan- (two less), -ra (one more) -rad (two more), il- (twice), ith (3) and sai (4).

• 8: thúra (7+1)
• 9: anghi (10-1)
• 10: hi
• 11: hina (10+1)
• 12: hinad (10+2)
• 13: adammist (15-2)
• 14: ilthu (2*7)
• 15: mist
• 16: mistra (15+1)
• 17: mistrad (15+2)
• 18: mistith (15+3)
• 19: mistsai (15+4)
• 20: mistmin (15+5)
• 21: ithú (3*7)
• 22: ithúra (3*7+1)
• 23: adamming (25-2)
• 24: amming (25-1)
• 25: ming
• 26: mingna (25+1)
• 27: mingnad (25+2)
• 28: saithú (4*7)
• 29: saithúra (4*7+1)
• 30: ilmist (2*15)
• 31: ilmistra (2*15+1)
• 32: mingthú (25+7)
• 33: mingthúra (25+7+1)
• 34: amminthú (5*7-1)
• 35: minthú (5*7)
• 36: minthúra (5*7+1)
• 37: minthúrad (5*7+2)
• 38: mingadammist (25+15-2)
• 39: mingilthú (25+2*7)
• 40: mingmist (25+15)
• 41: mingmistra (25+15+1)
• 42: mindathú (6*7)
• 43: mindathúra (6*7+1)
• 44: anithmist (3*15-1)
• 45: ithmist (3*15)
• 46: ithmistra (3*15+1)
• 47: adanthúsi (7*7-2)
• 48: anthúsi (7*7-1)
• 49: thúsi (7*7)

After 49, multiples of 7 are less frequently used, and it starts to look more like a base-5 system.
