Balenaxi, Kurdein, as well as a handful of other languages in my conworld has a numeral system that works similar to Roman numerals; there are units, four units become a different unit, much like five and nine, but that's only as unique as you get with that. (No conscript set up)| Number | Balenic Numeral | Numeral Name |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 (No conscript set up) | gjael |
| 1 | 1 (No conscript set up) | bhel |
| 2 | 2 (No conscript set up) | djoel |
| 3 | 3 (No conscript set up) | hael |
| 4 | 4 (No conscript set up) | voel |
| 5 | 5 (No conscript set up) | gjor |
| 6 | 6 (No conscript set up) | bhar |
| 7 | 7 (No conscript set up) | djaor |
| 8 | 8 (No conscript set up) | heir |
| 9 | 9 (No conscript set up) | vor |
When it gets to tens, say 43, the end consonant is removed from the name of the number in the tens place and the number in the ones place is added right after:
EX: 43: voehael (No conscript set up) |43: voehael| :: 71: djaobhel (No conscript set up) |71: djaobhel|
When it goes into the hundreds, like in 155, the hundreds place is placed, then "ca" (which means and) and the tens block follow. In numeral form, the split is only represented as a space, much like any of the other splits following. Whenever there's a zero between two numbers1, the zero tends to be left out in the speech. Though it technically is plausible to leave out the zero in the numeral too.
EX: 1 55: bhel ca gjogjor (No conscript set up) |155: bhel ca gjogjor| :: 5 02: gjor ca djoel (No conscript set up) |502: gjor ca djoel|
When it goes into the thousands and ten thousands, the higher-up places are merged with the hundreds place like the tens are merged with the ones, via removal of the last consonant and affixing the place after onto it.
EX: 20 48: djoegjael ca voeheir (No conscript set up) |2.048: djoegjael ca voeheir| :: 193 50: bhevohael ca gjogjael (No conscript set up) |19.350: bhevohael ca gjogjael|
After the hundred thousands, when saying it, the "ca" for and is left out, and there's only a space.
EX: 6 491 08: bhar voevorbhel ca heir (No conscript set up) |649.108: bhar voevorbhel ca heir| :: 93 582 71: vohael gjoheidjoel ca djibhel (No conscript set up) |9.358.271: vohael gjoheidjoel ca djaobhel| :: 703 416 092 33: djaogjaehael voebhebhar vodjoel ca haehael (No conscript set up) |70.341.609.233: djaogjaehael voebhebhar vodjoel ca haehael|
1: That is only true when the zero in question is right before a space. If it is after a number in the same bracket as it, it's still pronounced in speech. ✎ Edit Article ✖ Delete Article
