This section is under revision and reworking… this may not be even close to what it fleshes out to be…

I am considering a combination of base 4, base 9, base 8, or base 18…

The base 4 is predicated on filling the voids between fingers… if you reach into a bundle of arrows… you pull out four arrows for the four spaces between your digits on your hand.

Base 9 includes the digits as well…

Base 8 and 18 are using both hands.

Numbers 1-5:

Numbers 1 through 5 are formed by using “Ka” (arms-side hand):

Kai (1)
Kae (2)
Kao (3)
Kau (4)
Ka (5)

Numbers 6-10:

Numbers 6 through 10 are formed by using “Sha” (shield-side hand):

Shai (6)
Shae (7)
Shao (8)
Shau (9)
Sha (10)

Numbers 11-50:

Numbers 11 through 50 are created by combining the word for 10 (“Sha”) or 5 (“Ka”) with the basic numbers.
For example, 11 (Kaikai) is “Kai” (1) followed by “Kai” (1), and 15 (Kaika) is “Kai” (1) followed by “Ka” (5). This pattern continues through 50.

Numbers 51-100:

The numbers 51 through 100 continue the pattern, starting with 51 (Kashai) to 100 (Kaishap).

Multiples of 100 (100, 200, 300, etc.):

“Shap” is the morpheme for 100.
200 (Kaeshap), 300 (Kaoshap), and so on, are formed by prefixing “Shap” with the basic numbers.

Thousands and Beyond:

“Ap” multiplies the previous number by 10.
1,000 is represented as “Kaishapap” (100 x 10).
Larger numbers like 10,000 (“Kaishapshap”) are formed by repeating the morpheme for 100 and adding “ap” as necessary.

Large Numbers:

For extremely large numbers, the system uses multiplication and addition of these basic components to construct any number.
For instance, kaishapshapshapkaoshapapkashapkae (1,050,302) would be broken down into its components kaishapshapshap kaoshapap kashap kae (1,000,000 + 50,000 + 300 + 2) and represented accordingly in Hadokai Tubatonona.
