So, Akarian Numerals are written in base six positional notation: ones, then sixes.
The Numbers 1 through 5 are: Lai Rie Sou Mea Toe. The numbers 10 through 50 are La Ri So Me To- However, these numbers can't exist on their own! Whatever comes in the ones place has to be 'prefixed' to it: eg: 43 = Soume, 50 = Alhato, and 22 = Rieri. Akarian numbers are spoken by every two digits, with numbers over 100 marking each successive digit couple with a special word.
1 Lai
2 Rie
3 Sou
4 Mea
5 Toe
10 Alhala
20 Alhari
30 Alhaso
40 Alhame
50 Alhato
1,00 Mial
2,00 Miar
3,00 Mias
4,00 Miam
5,00 Miata
10,00 Alhala Mia
20,00 Alhari Mia
30,00 Alhaso Mia
40,00 Alhame Mia
50,00 Alhato Mia
1,00,00 Alafla
2,00,00 Alafri
3,00,00 Alafso
4,00,00 Alafme
5,00,00 Alafto
10,00,00 Alhala Alaf
20,00,00 Alhari Alaf
30,00,00 Alhaso Alaf
40,00,00 Alhame Alaf
50,00,00 Alhato Alaf
1,00,00,00 Milfala
2,00,00,00 Milfari
3,00,00,00 Milfaso
4,00,00,00 Milfame
5,00,00,00 Milfato
10,00,00,00 Alhala Milfa
and, you know, it goes on. The words Mia, Alaf, and Milfa are only present when there are only zeroes! For example, 23,33,00,34 would be Souri Souso Alaf Measo. These words were borrowed from the Arabic words for hundred and thousand, with 'Milfa' being an Akarian combination of the two borrowings. 'Alha' also comes from the Arabic word for ten.
