In TKD there is no example of -DIch or -logh
following one of the "multipliers" -maH, -vatlh, etc.
So can I say wa'maHDIch for tenth, or do I have to
use wa'maH paghDIch?
And am I right to interpret what MO says about Klingon
numbers in a way that counting proceeded as:
{1} = 1 {2} = 2 {3} = 3
{11} = 1x3 + 1 {12} = 1x3 + 2 {13} = 1x3 + 3
{21} = 2x3 + 1 {22} = 2x3 + 2 {23} = 2x3 + 3
{31} = 3x3 + 1 {32} = 3x3 + 2 {33} = 3x3 + 3
and that 13 was not {111} because that would be
the simple continuation?
Did MO ever give more clues about the ancient
number system?
