Used as modifiers, numbers indicate one of two things, either how many of something there is, or where the object is placed in an order of things (i.e. English 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.). The suffix '-di' indicates the former, 'norfadi fas' (one star), 'norfadi sas' (two stars) Vs. 'norfa fas' (the first star), 'norfa sas' (the second star).

Higher Numbers

Higher numbers in Kardii state the units first, then the tens, then hundreds and so on. The word 'vin' is placed between them.

11 - fas vin aat (fas) 12 - sas vin aat (fas)

Tens have 'aat' placed before them:

20 - aat sas 21 - fas vin aat sas 30 - aat rin 40 - aat neen

Hundreds have 'ted' placed before them:

200 - ted sas 201 - fas vin ted sas 211 - fas vin aat vin ted sas 400 - ted neen

Numerals

Kardii numerals are written in the order that they are said:



The 'vin' is not written. 'ted' (100) is written by doubling the numeral '10'.

These are the Kardii numerals, in both the imperial and trade lettering styles (see Kardii Writing).

			1			6
			2			7
			3			8
			4			9
			5			10

And the Taytastu forms:

			1			6
			2			7
			3			8
			4			9
			5			10

Other Numbers

To indicate more than one division of something, the size of the division is placed immediately after the noun (with the '-di' suffix) and the number of divisions given after it, 'ksarodi rinsi' (one third of the room) 'ksarodi rinsi sas' (two thirds of the room).

Measurement

Most Shela units of measurement are based around the number 14, 14 kasi = 1 te'osi, 14 te'osi = 1 traje.

Other Units

Distance - areit - 317m

Height (of a person/animal) - fayla - 8.57cm (1/28 rahu)

Height (of a building) - rahu - 2.4m (28 fayla)

Mathematics

OK, not so neat and tidy for this section. Most of the symbols haven't made it into the Kardii fonts yet. Go my handwriting...

Number Systems

Kardii mathematical notation looks very very simliar to the Iilkana notation. Cool, you say, so it's not too hard
to read one if you know the other, right? Well, sort of true. The big pitfall to watch out for is the number system.
Iilkana numerals are mostly the same as the Kardii ones, except that Iilkana numbers are base nine and Kardii is base
ten. It can really muck up your calculations if you get the wrong one.

So, any page/block of maths notation must begin with either one of these:

		"In Shela numbers" (nelehin deletemshe)
		"In Iilkana numbers" (nelehin deletemoi)

Most pronunciations of maths symbols are of Iilkana origin rather than Kardii.

Basic Operators

		+ (sa)
		- (tasi)
		× (eniki)
		÷ (enithka)

"Equals" (ty) is indicated by a vertical line.

Examples:

2 + 3 = 5 (sas sa rin ty soni)


3 - 2 = 1 (sas tasi rin ty fasa). Note the order of 2 and 3 - the number to be subtracted comes first.


2 × 3 = 6 (sas eniki rin ty wen)


6 ÷ 2 = 3 (sas enithka wen ty rin). Note the order again - the divisor comes first.

For clarity, "one" (fas) is used with it's kardiifa pronunciation (fasa) when talking maths and numbers.

Powers

		2 squared (sas enikima)
		2 to the power of 3 (sas enikima rin)
		root 2 (sas enithkatira)
		cube root 2 (sas enithkatira rin)
