Rihannsu Numbering System
THIS NUMBERING SYSTEM WAS POSTED ON THE INSTITUTE OF RA'THLEIHFI, DEPARTMENT OF XENOSOCIOLOGY WEB SITE. IT USES THE LANGUAGE PROJECT DEFINITIONS FROM THE DICTIONARY ON THIS SITE.
| erh' | part of (in fractions) | ||||||

EXAMPLES OF NUMBERS |
|
|
|
|
| dhei | 1000 |
| krha'sei dhei rha'hwi | 23,051 |
| sehu-fvha'lli | 367 |
| mnhu-mnha'kre | 442 |
| rhu-mnha'sei | 543 |
| fvhu-lha'lli | 697 |
| lli-dhei mnhu-rha | 7,450 |
| thhu-thha'the | 888 |
| llu-thha | 980 |
In general, numbers smaller than 1000 (dhei) are written from
large to small segments (as in Federation Standard)
example: mnhu-mnha'kre - 442
Numbers larger than 1000 (dhei) are written in chunks (as in Federation standard)
example: sei-dhei mnhu-rha'sei kre-dhei khru-dha
dhei -
One-billion four-hundred-fifty-three million two-hundred-ten thousand
POWERS OF 1000 (dhei) are indicated by a numerical prefix:
One million = kre-dhei (lit. 1000, power 2)
One billion = sei-dhei (lit. 1000, power 3)
One septillion = the-dhei (lit. 1000, power 4)
One quadrillion = rhi-dhei (lit. 1000, power 5)
dhei-dhei is the largest Rihannsu number
FRACTIONS: are written thus: denominator erh'numerator: kre erh'hwi (one third)
DECIMAL FRACTIONS: errah = point
The numbers before the point are written normally.
The numbers after the point are written separately:
example: 12.15119 - twelve point one five one one nine - (dha'kre errah hwi rhi hwi hwi lhi))
TIME
| minute(s) | siure(n) | equal to 50.5 Federation seconds |
| hour | dierha | 5050 Federation seconds (100 siuren) |
| day | eisae | 25.25. Federation hours (18 dierhar) |
| week | dhaei | lit. ten-day |
| month | khaidoa | 47.5 Federation days |
| year | fvheisn | 380 eisaein |

| thirteen (13) | - dev'sie | 100,000,000 | - tie-pyil |
| twenty (20) | - til-hn | 1,000,000,000 | - tie-ppie |
| twenty-one (21) | - til-hn'tie | 10,000,000,000 | - tie-pdev |
| twenty-two (22) | - til-hn'til | 100,000,000,000,000 | - tie-pdev'sev |
| twenty-three (23) | - til-hn'sie | The Rihannsu number system is based on the first ten numbers. Any number past ten is a combination of these numbers. Starting with the number twenty, the suffix "-hn" is added. For example, the number "til" (2) combined with the suffix "-hn" makes "til-hn", the Rihannsu number for twenty. The same process is used for hundreds, using the suffix "-ptil" (p concatenated with til, representing two zeros). Past the hundreds, the system is more complex. The apparent suffix this time represents the place value. Using this number system, there is a Rihannsu number for every standard English number. | |
| thirty (30) | - sie-hn | ||
| forty (40) | - sev-hn | ||
| fifty (50) | - ko-hn | ||
| sixty (60) | - kil-hn | ||
| seventy (70) | - yo-hn | ||
| eighty (80) | - yil-hn | ||
| ninety (90) | - pie-hn | ||
| one hundred (100) | - tie-ptil | ||
