Numbers in ABCL
NUMBERS in ABCL
Also for the numbers, the suffix “_x” meaning zero, a differing system has been created.
Cardinal numbers/ digits: 1 to 9: bi, çi, fi, ki, li, vi, pi, si, yi

For example: The number 6 572 120 is written in ABCL: viv.lil.pik.çif.biç.çix (includes 18 letters). The same digit written in English extends to 52 letters.
The system continues in such “ten” times pattern as (unary notion):
Bis, biy, bim, bir, bit, biv, biş, big (quadrillion)
Above that, the system follows one thousand pattern such as “bix big, biç big, bif big, bil big, biv big” etc.
At the first sight it seems to be some ambiguity with some verbs, e.g. “bip” means as verb “disappear” but as number “ten million” or “bibi” means “occurring” but as number “eleven”. However, in the syntax a mix up is not possible due to the fact that the verbs are placed secondly after the subject where the numbers stay as adjectives after the verbs and before the noun they modify. (e.g.: u bibi bibi üs bi camya=It is occurring eleven times a year.)
Ordinal numbers are as below: (example for 2 “çi”)
çi.ji:.... two.half
çi.ği:.... *-th (second)
ki.ği:.... four.th
öşü çi/fi:.... both/every three
ki.z.çi:.... two forth (two of four; four’s half)
çi.vum, fi.vum, ki.vum :.... double/two fold/twice, triple, quadruple
çi.ğ.ma, fi.ğ.ma : .... couple, trio
