How does the Base-10 version differ from normal counting in Base 8?
My Gwr still retain traces of their original Base 8 system; but mostly now
use a decimal system. The Old word for "10" [=8] is still the word for 10
[=10]; they borrowed Kash words for decimal 8 and 9. Or would that lead to
great confusion?? Probably when it was first introduced, but not anymore.
