I get the part about five. I get the part about three percent. I don't
agree that three percent would be three tenths, perhaps three hundreths?
But, what I really don't get is how {wejvatlhvI'} is added to {vagh}.
Meanwhile, I have had ideas on how to express fractions. No of them appear
in canon, so BEWARE. This is not an endorsement to use these ideas, only a
contribution to the brainstorming.
maHvI' = tenths
'uy'vI' = millionths
Get the trend here?
wejvI' = thirds
loSvI' = fourths
et cetra
vI' = accumulates
A number + vI' means that there has been so much accumulation of that
gradation.
Again, BEWARE. These are MY ideas, not Marc Okrand's. Do not use them unless
they become approved.
