Channelknight Fadran Posted November 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 Numbers! You are naming numbers. You know. Like latin. Unus, duo, tres, etc. Except it can't be latin 'cause this is 100% high fantasy with 0% romans. Everything is base-12, so I need numbers 1 through 12. Please dump tons of suggestions though so I can sort through the ones I like and make sure they work aesthetically. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medium Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 Understood!! So twelve names, to mean numbers, for a base 12 fantasy system??? GOT IT. Am I allowed to make it sound similar, like so many languages on earth have it like? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medium Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 Nice. I'll do 5 per number. One: Oen, On, Ue, Aene, Uine Two: Toh, Tuho, Deoh, Doeh, Twih Three: Thri, Threi, Thui, Tris, Trosi Four: Furr, Fori, Phuro, Furi, Fior Five: Fiev, Fevo, Phiv, Feiv, Fivi Six: Sio, Siox, Sixu, Soxo, Sioxi Seven: Sevna, Senvi, Sivan, Siavin, Sovian Eight: Oight, Eit, Eiht, Heht, Hight Nine: Nin, Nen, Noni, Nino, Niono Ten: Tien, Tein, Toen, Tonn, Tineo Eleven: Elvin, Elivin, Elivon, Ellvon, Elvunn Twelve: Twulv, Twolvi, Twili, Twillv, Twalivi. They're trash, I know. Numbers are hard. Hope these provide good inspiration though! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NerdyAarakocra Posted November 16, 2022 Report Share Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) Three: Del Places are conjoined with 'i': a three in the twelves place and a two in the ones place would be Delieth Edited November 16, 2022 by NerdyAarakocra 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ookla of Colors Posted November 16, 2022 Report Share Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) Four: Nel (or Nol, but I like Nel better bc it fits w/ Del better) And 131 would be coridelicor For convenience the digits can be capitalized, like so: CoriDeliCor Edited November 16, 2022 by Tani 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Channelknight Fadran Posted November 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2022 ^ ^ ^ for reference for the non-mathematical types: - numbers go effectively 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, a, b, 10 (a and b would be 10 and 11, but have their own symbols) - 100 = 144 (as in “10*10” = 12*12) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NerdyAarakocra Posted November 20, 2022 Report Share Posted November 20, 2022 For convince, numbers shouldn't end with vowels because that causes problems if 'i' is a conjunction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Channelknight Fadran Posted December 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 Very sorry, but I'm retconning all of your guys' epic ideas because I just came up with the best way to name my numbers: 1: Ine 2: Kugi 3: Satu 4: Taka 5: Ern 7: Saita 8: Mang 9: Leio (10): Tanjo (11): Reye (12): Saun If you can figure out my system I'll share my extra chapters with you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
