Ancient Kaelic has a very simple number system: just figure out your digits and smash all the syllables together!

A numeral in Ancient Kaelic has the following structure:

thousands hundreds tens-ones

For example, 1466 is momomo somomo daemodae

[edit] [top]1-10 - All You Need to Know

All numbers are comprised of some combination of numbers 1-10.

il
nae
ta
so
kae
dae
pen
lo
nan
mo

[edit] [top]Mo - Counting by 10

For each 10s place, add a "mo."

10 = mo
100 = momo
1000 = momomo

You can theoretically increase by orders of 10 infinitely by simply prefixing additional "mo"s.

To indicate plural multiples of 10 (20, 30, 40, etc.), place the single 1-9 number in front of "mo"

20 = naemo
80 = lomo
400 = somomo

Note that 30 and 40 are irregular (30 = "tamot" and 40 = "somot").

[edit] [top]Spacing

Tens and ones are smashed together, but each ten space at 100 and above will be its own word.

[edit] [top]Combining it All

Whatever number you want to write, break it down at each ten space and you'll be able to build it back up.

Example: 2020 is a two in the thousands place and a two in the tens place. Easy!

naemomomo naemo

Happy counting!
