I know about the decimal point, but how would it be used?
There aren't any combining forms, like -maH "tens", for tenths and
hundredths.
I think I have a way to do fractions. Use 'ay'. "fragment, piece"
Like 5/6 would be vagh 'ay' jav "five parts of six"
5/6 of an apple would be vagh 'ay' jav 'apel 'ay'
"five of six apple parts, I used 'apel for apple as an example."
