I asked myself
how numbers were created, every number has a name, but they're usually written in scripts and, their names aren't practical to read . Numbers were the letters of the math as we build a word with them
in math, so couldn’t letters correspond to a number? They did actually, in
gematria or abjad you can look at your names numerical value, although, today
hebrew and arabic uses numbers that don't correspond to letters, why? Cause it
made calculations very hard.
I didn’t totally
copy this method of calculation cause of this, I wanna tell you how to make
numbers for a conlang (you don’t need to learn though, you’re so wise ), and
tell my fictional language.
I selected this
subject for my second post cause it’s so easy. The numbers in ramnuny only have
names for numbers from 0 to 9 but, also each of this 10 number has a letter
corresponding to it, as we write a 2/3/4/5… digit number with them just like we
write in western math
0: Şiin: שׂין
à SH
1: yaHad יחדà Y
2: θarain תּריןà B
3: θalaθah תּלתּהà J
4: ’arbiEahארוּעה àD
5: Xamisahגּמשה àh (soft)
6:sittahשתה à w
7:sabEahשוּעה àz
8: θamaniah תּמניה àH (hard)
9: θisEahתּשעה àT (hard)
So what is the reason of using this method? I can say 100 by saying yaşaş ישׂשׂ
(yşş: y is 1, ş is 0) and because you don’t write vowels, you can connect them
with a vowel in speech. In calculations such as addition it is much easier
Yaş ישׂ 10. Ya’ ייּ11.
Yab יוּ
12…..
