Konalkepota: Counting
Counting is in base 8. My conspecies
has four toes, and eight fingers on
each foot and hand respectively. (They
are humanoid in shape.)
Each number is represented by a vowel,
either h(0)(oi), a(1)(ah), e(2)(eh), i
(3)(ee), o(4)(oh), u(5)(oo), w(6)(ou),
or y(7)(ai). Whereas our counting has
three places before the comma, my
constructed language has only two
numbers (vowels) before their divider
(consonant) [There must always be an
end divider]. The dividers read, from
right to left, as "s", "b", "t", "p",
"v" (There shouldn't need to be more
than that. If there is a reason, I'll
figure out what to put for further
dividers.)
Because the species writes from Right
to Left, their counting would seem
strange to us. For instance,
16,302
is spelled as two (and zero)
"s" three and six "b" one (and zero)
"t".
It is written as: ehsiwbaht
(eh-ois-ee-ou-bah-oit) and can be
simplified as: esiwbat (eh-see-ou-
baht).
