Ithkuil uses a [[Radix|base 100]] numeral system with roots for the numbers 1 to 10, and a stem-specific derivative suffix used with a number root to add a multiple of 10, providing the numerals up to 99. Ithkuil did not originally use the concept of zero. Numbers greater than 100 are expressed periphrastically in speech, whereas a special numerical script had [[logogram]]s for the numbers 1 to 100 and exponential powers of 100.
