You might find the Zariva numbers interesting. I posted about them to the list back in 1999. Zariva uses a combination of base 5 and base 7, which interact in complicated ways (although higher numbers are mainly base 5). Here's a link to the list archive: http://listserv.brown.edu/archives/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind9902D&L=conlang&P=R1781
