Revision as of 01:11, 30 June 2009
The Dalcurian numeral system is based on the vigesimal system or base 20 system. In fact, it is very similar to French numerals in that numbers from 30 to 39 are made up of 20 + 11, 12, 13 etc. Forty is literally two twenties (twenty takes a plural ending), 41 is two twenties and one, 50 is two twenties and ten, 55 is two twenties and fifteen, etc. 60 is three twenties, 80 is four twenties until 100, which has its own name of qenta. However, unlike French and similar to German, the smaller digit goes first up to 100.

100 qenta
For numbers after 100, all numerals under 100 go AFTER qenta. qenta also looses it's a and adds ö:
101 qentö'on
105 qentö'pen
116 qentö'hecsenta
If writing numerals, then qenta and subsequent denominations in the hundreds (200, 300 400 etc) are separated by a dash after 20:
125 qentö-penö'dionta Lit: one hundred and five and twenty
130 qentö-sentö'dionta Lit: one hundred and ten and twenty
137 qentö-senalsentö'dionta Lit: one hundred and seventeen and twenty
140 qentö-dion'diontel Lit: one hundred and two twenties
141 qentö-dion'diontelö'on Lit: one hundred and two twenties and one
You can easily deduce the pattern up to 199. Numerals 200, 300, 400 up to 900 take a plural ending:
200 dionqentel Lit: two (of) one hundreds
300 treqentel
400 teraqentel (be careful when using 300 and 400 as they sound very similar; Dalcurians often stress the 1st syllable in terenta to make a clear distinction from trenta).
500 penqentel
600 solqentel
700 senalqentel
800 aÞqentel
900 ninaqentel
1000 sencentel Lit: ten (of) one hundreds
1001 sencentelö'on
1019 sencentelö'ninasenta
1035 sencentelö-pensentö'dionta Lit: one thousand and fifteen and twenty
1060 sencentelö-tre'diontel Lit: one thousand and three twenties
1100 onsencentel
1200 dionsencentel
1300 tresencentel
1400 terasencentel
1500 pensencentel
1600 solsencentel
1700 senalsencentel
1800 aÞsencentel
1900 ninasencentel
Numbers from 2000 to 9000 add numerals from 20 to 90 + centel or centelö when lower denominations follow:
2000 diontacentel
3000 sentö'diontacentel
3200 sentö'diontacentelö'dioncentel Lit: thirty hundreds and two hundreds
