don't feel like the main counting system is good enough, huh?
that's okay. i'll give you the forbidden knowledge of a more advanced counting system.
(but be aware that this is not intended to be used very much. in most cases, vague amounts will also get the message across.)
this counting system uses 5 words:
wan - one
tu - two
luka - five
mute - twenty
ale - one hundred
this counting system is additive, meaning you chain together the words to create bigger numbers
luka luka tu
~ five + five + two
= 12
ale ale ale ale ale ale ale ale ale ale ale ale ale ale ale ale ale ale ale ale mute tu
~ 2022
as you can see, it's still not very convenient for big numbers - this is the point!
translate each of these numbers into the more advanced counting system:
ale tu
ale ale ale ale ale ale ale ale ale ale mute tu tu
mute mute luka luka tu wan
ale ale ale ale mute
