The first 16 digits of e are especially easy ... 2.718281828459045 ...
because of the repeating 1828 and the nicely symmetrical 459045
(coincidentally, the angles in degrees of a right isosceles triangle).

I used to know most words of Olaetyan, but since I've been using the
computer as an integral part of conlang development, I haven't tried
memorizing any of my more recent langs. I'd rather spend the time
developing more langs and adding new words to the existing ones.
