Previous thread for reference.

One minor correction, the word for "eight" (at some point) will change from eln to ot. That can happen regardless of the number system.

Some written number examples with the above system:

• 18 - geino ot
• 151 - geinto heno gein
• 7,256 - zoso ziinto heno sok
• 100,280 - geintoso ziinto otno
• 850,321 - geinto henoso sedto ziino gein

Feel free to correct if I'm interpreting this wrong.

So far, I think there are positives and negatives. The system is efficient at condensing the information into a small number syllables without being overcomplicated. Compare the the 11 syllables in "one hundred thousand two hundred and eighty" to the 7 in geintoso ziinto otno.

On the other hand, the suffix system creates a stressed-unstressed pattern that would be unnatural in conversation. The longer the number, the more exaggerated this becomes. Having suffixes "stack" (as in geintoso "one hundred thousand") somewhat solves the problem.

Edit: After some discussion, we've arrived at hot (pronounced like "hoat") as the new word for "eight" to tie in with the other numbers hir and hen.

It seems like we have the individual numbers figured out. I have one small suggestion regarding the suffix -so for the thousands. S is an unvoiced consonant, and can be difficult to pronounce after a voiced consonant without introducing a glottal stop, as in geinso or zudso. I would recommend a variation of -zo for these words; geinzo, zudzo, yedzo, etc. to ease pronunciation.

Base 3 spoken system:

• One
• Two
• Three/Triad
• Triad + one
• Triad + two
• Two-Triads / half dozen
• Three-Triads
• Four-Triads / dozen
