Klingon was supposedly a base 3 number system
Both you and MO mention the numbers 1,2,3
technically that would be a base 4 system
binary (base 2): 0,1
decimal (base 10): 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
hexadecimal (base 16): 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, A, B, C, D, E, F
(10,11,12,13,14,15)
you have to include the 0
base 3: 0,1,2
0 = 0
1 = 1
2 = 2
10 = 3
11 = 4
12 = 5
20 = 6
21 = 7
etc
the value 2 in base 2 is 10
the value 10 in base 10 is 10
the value 16 in base 16 is 10
the value 3 in base 3 is 10
but MO mentions 1,2,3 in TKD and in the musical scale in KGT.
base 4?
