I noticed that some numbers are missing in the dictionary: zero - d one - r two - rt three - m four - ? five - f six - ? seven - s eight - ? nine - l etc. How do I say four, six or eight?

this is a subject in the intermediate lessons (coming eventually), but for now, here's the basic gist: d = 0 r = 1 m = 3 f = 5 s = 7 l = 9 t = +1 therefore: d = 0 r = 1 rt = 2 m = 3 mt = 4 f = 5 ft = 6 s = 7 st = 8 l = 9 note: t = +1 to a digit.. NOT an entire number. You can't use t with d, l, or itself. Therefore the following numbers don't exist cos they break this rule: dt lt tt mtlt dtft ttf lldt ..etc. examples of legit numbers are: rtm = 23 rtmt = 24 mmtfffl = 345559 lld = 990 rlsr = 1971 rlstmt = 1984 Currently there's no fixed rule about writing numbers as glyphs, but it's likely that I'll be creating brand new glyphs for numbers. |

That's an interesting system... thanks for helping out
But you seem to have created another issue with nubers like 555, which would be fff and it's against the rules Or numbers are an exception?

personally I like the base 7 idea, despite how much confusion it would cause. |

[size=1]COUGH COUGH. BUMP. COUGH COUGH.[/size] So, you'd just take from the previous context of the sentence as to not get numbers mixed with words? I.E. : Mt, rtlt. Greetings, friends. Mt, rtlt. Four, friends. ... Well, maybe that wasn't the BEST example, as the person might be counting his friends, but say if he invited them over, he'd say 'Hello,' not 'Four.' And so you'd just assume that 'Greetings' would be more relevant, ergo cleaning up the sentence. But is there an easier way to tell the difference between the numbers and words? Not to say that that way isn't easy... |

You could always put sts (number) before numbers. |

yep that's the rule You put 'dd' at the end of your numbers (or another impossible number, like dt) to indicate the end of the numbers.. so: I saw 347 people ss dr rrm sts mmts dd drlt |
