When reciting the decimal portion of a number, it is customary to just
recite the digits in sequence, isn't it?

Say, you've got a readout of 401.6335 kellikams and you have to read off
the number, you'd say loS pagh wa' vI' jav wej wej vagh qelI'qammeyor
maybe loSvatlh wa' vI' jav wej wej vagh qelI'qammey. I'm happy with either.

But what about a recurring decimal? Er, one-third: 0.333 ... recurring?
pagh vI' wej qaSqa'taHbogh? 1/7, 0.142857 ... pagh vI' wa' loS cha'
chorgh vagh Soch
qaSqa'taHbogh?
