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.

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?

[Channelknight Fadran]

Just yeet whatever words you can conceive at me.

[Going_North_cal]

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!

[The Unknown Medallion he/him]

Well, you have day seasons right?

So it could be like in groups of fours within the twelves, so

(I don't know what order the cycle goes, so I'll give one of each element for every number) One: Krist, Floe, Illel, Grun,

Two: Craut, Felis, Ilfa, Dorn, 

Three: Crinth, Swint, Ipin, Traunt,

Four: Venka, Rinva, Lifin, Evdar,

Five: Vake, Yis, Enor, Tekdo,

Six: Cren, Sors, Lile, Gren, 

Seven: Filt, Slinda, Isin, Eka,

Eight: Krot, Fina, Esu, Gauth, 

Nine: Crix, Ren, Ilif, Dauk, 

Ten: Ven, Sener, Lel, Kev,

Eleven: Krinot, Lers, Ipef, Tekev, 

Twelve: Crentar, Sorsin, Lilefi, Grenka.

One: Cor. 

 

Also apparently I still have this saved, so Coni here's your reminder, two years later.

I'm good at time management.

Hey, someone should remind me about this eventually so I'll do a reread. Not yet(no time rn) but eventually.

Two: Eth

[NerdyAarakocra They/Them]

Three: Del

Places are conjoined with 'i': a three in the twelves place and a two in the ones place would be Delieth

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

Actually, it's base 12, so it would be (10)i(11)

10 = Kruth

11 = Ved

So, KruthiVed

[Channelknight Fadran]

^ ^ ^
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)

Yep you're right and I'm just very wrong

Thank you for catching that

ok i know how this looks but i SWEAR it's a coincidence

[NerdyAarakocra They/Them]

For convince, numbers shouldn't end with vowels because that causes problems if 'i' is a conjunction.

[Channelknight Fadran]

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 

[The Unknown Medallion he/him]

They feel very eastern, but I have no idea otherwise.

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

Are they zodiac sign based?

[Quivil]

And what combines them? (what replaces the "i" function in our idea?)
