The Imperial numerals are duodecimal – that is, base-12 – as are numbers in most [[Aterran]] languages with the exception of [[Hakdor]]. For duodecimal transcription, 〈X〉 is used to represent ‘ten’ and 〈B〉 for ‘eleven’. Decimal equivalents are given in parentheses after the duodecimal. | |||
The “teen” numerals are slightly irregular, having gone through an additional stage of sound change. Higher numbers are compounded with '''''[[Contionary: ya#Modern Standard Imperial|ya]]''''' ‘and’. | |||
