Re: tlhingan-hol numeric system
In either the Klingon Dictionary, or the Conversational Klingon cassettee (pardon spelling errors. I cannot backspace), the issue IS addressed. Originally., the numbering system was base-3/. There was m.. no need for numbers above 3. the number 4 for example would be considered Three ands One.
The change to base-10 was made for compatibility in dealings with the federation standard, but has since been adopted as the new standard.
