Explanation

n = Normal / As Prefix / Mathematical / Legacy (Optional)

Digit List

0 = Cero / Zer / Noß

1 = Une / Une / Sigg

2 = Dön / Biy / Doin / Doné

3 = Tritt / Triy / Trin

4 = Qintt / Qadr / Qirin / Quintt

5 = Qit / Pent / Qinin

6 = Cix / Heks / Hekin

7 = Cise / Sepet / Setin / Onto

8 = Octo / Octen / Otin

9 = Nove / Noßre / Notin / Nyen

Usage

Normal

"Mo termelo une ronßoloto." -> I have one apple.

As Prefix

"To termeles biy-muss." -> You have two muscles (biceps).

Mathematical (Optional)

"Sigg et sigg leme doin." -> One and (plus) one is (equals) two.

Legacy

Used when writing ordinal numbers or numbers between 11-19.

For example;

1st, 2nd, 3rd != Unevo, Dönvo, Trittvo;

1st, 2nd, 3rd = Unevo, Donévo, Trittvo;

or;

11, 12, 13 != unter, dönter, trittter;

11, 12, 13 = unter, donéter, trittter;

Bigger Numbers

10 = Toc

11 = Unter

12 = Donter (Officially donéter)

13 = Tritter (Officially trittter)

10^27 = Oktillint

10^30 = Nonillint

10^33 = Desillint

Paranthesis

The Kœtetekian numerical system is so complicated that it needs paranthesis.

For example, paranthesis is needed stating the number "12001".

It's said as "Une (Dön Toc) Hunt" -> One (Two Ten)-Hundred -> One Twelve-Hundred -> Twelve-Hundred One -> Twelve Hundred and One

But without paranthesis, it would be:

"Une Dön Toc Hunt -> One Two Ten Hundred -> Hundred Ten One Two -> One-Hundred and Ten and One Two -> One Hundred and Eleven Twelve (There's no single number as "eleven twelve" [it only

exists as 2 numbers] but it's the most accurate translation of "Une Dön" that's a wrong Kœtetekian grammar, only written to create the thesis being that numbers with parts of them written

in paranthesis not being the same as them not being in paranthesis.)

( = Unen Parateset

) = Ceren Parateset

Making New Words

Since Kœtetekian is a small language, there should be a way to create new words. There's actually 2 ways:

By Existing Words

pond = minituréaqunmar (small water sea)

dinosaur = dinovta

Loch Ness Monster = minituréaqunmardinovta

By Non-Existing Words

1. Get a word from a Latin (French, Italian, Spanish, Romanian, Moldavian etc.) language -> universidad ("university" in Spanish)

2. Modify it a bit -> universtad

3. Make it satisfying for Kœtetekian grammar -> universtar

4. Congrats, new word! (go to a school with high importance -> universtar)

(This is an example, not an actual word in Kœtetekian)
