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.
