The Elkitiines use a rather unique quinary system for their numbers. It essentially goes like this: a consonant for the multiple of 25, a vowel for the multiple of 5, and a consonant or two for the multiple of 1. Below is a table of what is possible with just the system aforementioned, all the way from 0 to 124 (444).| n×25 | n×5 | n | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | b | e | e |
| 1 | p | i | r |
| 2 | t | y | ts |
| 3 | d | ö | n |
| 4 | k | ü | kh |
However, if you want to get any bigger than 124, you will need additional consonants. Following this is the other consonants that may be used in place of b, p, t, k, or d, in ascending order of 6×25 to 20×25.
g, f, v, þ, ð, s, z, š, ž, h, l, j, r, m, n. Additionally, from 21×25 to 24×25, these following initial consonant blends are accepted: sf, sl, sr, and sn in that order. This effectively makes 624, aka 24×25+24, 4444, a measley snükh.
But if you want to go 625 and above, literally all that needs doing is add 1 in front and 0 after a space, ber be, and that's 625. It's literally just like regular numbers. And if you need to go 625² or higher, do ber bee bee.
Also fractions work just the same as they do here, but decimals do not! ✎ Edit Article ✖ Delete Article
