Interesting. Tirelat also uses a modified 2 and 3 for "ten" and "eleven"
(see http://www.io.com/~hmiller/lang/Tirelat/script.html and download the
Vlika fonts to see the characters). I wonder if I might have seen something
like this before or whether I came up with the idea independently when I
was designing the Tirelat writing system?

In any case, languages of mine that use duodecimal numbers (at least as one
option) include Chispa (http://www.io.com/~hmiller/lang/cispaintro.html)
and Jarda (http://www.io.com/~hmiller/lang/Jarda/numbers.html).
