Numbers

The number system of Liëth is base 10, includes zero, and has a few unique features.


The 0 comes from combining the greater forms of 1 and 9 (From 19m to 0m to finally 0) Writing it as an oval 0 is fine for handwriting, but odd for print; a round circle is never used to mean 0 as it only references the Moon.
The greater forms of 1 and 9 are used if the sequence either begins or ends in those numbers otherwise their lesser carrier forms are used. When writing numbers in the circular year calendar, in date format, or on a clock, only the lesser forms are used.

The numerals have optional stellar and infixion diacritics, the first being a bar atop. When used over zero it indicates three zeroes.

The Stellar Numerals

For non zero numbers, diacritics derived of ancient numerals can be used to indicate place value:


While the numbers can get fantastically large when the system of three diacritics is taken to its logical conclusion and are unlikely to be regularly utlized, it does make writing 1,000,001, 1,001, and even 101 easier to write and take up less space.
"Ten thousand eight hundred and three" results in being able to be written rather quickly and compactly.

For decimals a comma is used.
