Maltcégj numbers are base-10 (decimal), but they increase incrementally instead of in the more regular groups of three or six. Therefore, numbers through 999 are enumerated just as they are in English, but the number 1,000 is considered “ten hundred,” or ''seþ sam''. Thereafter, 10,000 is ''cep'', 100,000 ''seþ cep'' ‘ten ten-thousands’, 1,000,000 is ''sam cep'' ‘one hundred ten-thousands’, 10,000,000 is ''seþ sam cep'' ‘ten hundred ten-thousands’, and 100,000,000 is ''jak''. The next increment after ''jak'' is ''gwil'', which has a value of ten quadrillion (or ten billiard if you’re from some parts of Europe), followed by ''ǧan'', which is a number large enough that you shouldn’t ever need it unless you’re counting individual atoms, but it’s something like one hundred nonillion (10³²). | Maltcégj numbers are base-10 (decimal), but they increase incrementally instead of in the more regular groups of three or six.
