==Numerals== | |||
Numbers are of base 6 (six) which is the sacred number of Grundet's fantasy universe. The use of finger calculation must also have given rise to this system and can be seen in the numeral names clearly: 'öpa' = 'zero', 'öpam' = 'fist' and 'sapa' = 'five', 'sapam' = 'hand', 'waot' = 'six' and 'wao' = 'new'. | |||

* Numbers after that are formed by adding the smaller after the larger: 'kramwaotkram' = 'twenty-one'. | |||
* Most full sixes are formed by adding the multiplier before the six: 'aktawaot' = (four times six) 'twenty-four' | |||
* Special numbers: 'sawek' = 'thirty', 'wawat' = 'thirty-six', 'noswek' = 'sixty', 'wahok' = '120', 'nehok' = '240', 'krahok' = '360', 'waotkinoh' = (six squared) 1296 and 'waotkikram' = (six cubed) '46656' last of which are rare. | |||

'''Ordinal numbers''': '1st' = 'wahhi', '2nd' = 'nohhi', '3rd' = 'kramet', '4th' = 'aktaet'... (continues by adding '-et' suffix) | |||
'''Calculation''': 'poi' means multiplication, 'rih' division, 'jie' ('ji'='and') addition and 'wer' substraction. 'Ki' ('for') is used for exponentation. | |||
