For the record, I'm prone to being inspired by the list. In this case,
I've taken a whole bunch of number ideas from this discussion and
incorporated them into Br'ga.
Thusfar, it has roots for cardinals, plus n > n suffixes for:
Ordinal
Ordnial of "last minus n"
Split into n parts
Consisting of n like items
1/n
1-(1/n)
1+(1/n)
I can form three quarters by the noun stem *grunandell /R\unAndeL\/
(gru.nandell < four.1-(1/n)), but when I'm finished, I'm going to define a
n > v suffix (probably semantically something like "to have undergone" or
"to be constructed") so I can express it as an actual word instead of
needing an asterix.
