DAY 24: Numbers

Thanks to doing a thing on Lyn's blog in a comment, I have something to start with!

One, two, and three are pa, shi, and suat. Making them instance-counters - i.e. once, twice, thrice - was adding 'th' to the end, for path, shith, and suath. (This comes from the time-pronoun ending being hyth.)

Now, four through eight.
lats, fy, sof, sash, kys

For the time-counters:
lath, fyhyth, sofyth, sashyth, kyshyth
(that's s+h not sh)

Now there's ordinal... buhhh. Prefix or suffix? Probably suffix, it's... closest conceptually to 'case'. Maybe -ta
pat, shita, suata, lasta, fyta, softa, sashta, kysta
...Sure, that works. XD

Now, how to do the numbers after eight... (It's a base eight system, you see.)

Tentatively, I'm going to say it is of the structure "twice ten five" for twenty five, which would be shithkysfy.

I'll do the other orders of magnitude later; one through eighty three is enough for now.
