Otrysontogantian's number system isn't very complex.
The numbers 0-9
| sorn | zero |
|---|
| gev | one |
| kles | two |
| trav | three |
| ters | four |
| gern | five |
| tors | six |
| vorn | seven |
| serd | eight |
| nerd | nine |
These will be referred to as x.
| kars | ten |
|---|
| nars | hundred |
| mard | thousand |
And these will be referred to as y.
These are the base morphemes for all numbers.
As you can see, the end of the words are coloured a bit different.
It's dropped before another morpheme.
The numbers 11-19
For the numbers 11-19 we suffix kars with a number.
s isn't dropped before a g.
karsx ----> 10 + x
For example:
11 - karsgev ----> 10 + 1
12 - karkles ----> 10 + 2
17 - karvorn ----> 10 + 7
In this case, we prefix kars with a number.
This also works with nars and mard.
xy ----> x * y
Except for:
| klers | twenty |
|---|
| trars | thirty |
For example:
40 - tekars ----> 4 * 10
90 - nekars ----> 9 * 10
400 - tenars ----> 4 * 100
900 - nenars ----> 9 * 100
So we can also put a number after the xy pair(s):
x1karsx2 ----> x1 * 10 + x2
For example:
43 - tekartrav ----> 4 * 10 + 3
25 - klersgern ----> 20 + 5
27 - klervorn ----> 20 + 7
The formula is expandable until:
x1narsx2karsx3mard ----> (x1 * 100 + x2 * 10 + x3) * 1000
Some examples are:
647 -
836 -
647 000 -
836 000 -
So we can put more of these big blocks together like this:
x1narsx2karsx3mard-x4narsx5karsx6
For example:
2017 - klemard-karvorn
35 562 - trarsgernmard-gernartokarkles
127 793 - narklervornmard-vonarnekartrav
605 493 - tonarsgevmard-tenarnekartrav
But what about even bigger numbers like million and billion?
