Actually, it was artificially regularised by the government. Incidentally,
there is a second (again, regularised) system, which is base 25.

1 up
2 ut
3 uk
4 us
5 un
6 um
7 ub
8 ud
9 ug
A uz
B us^
C uz^
D ur
E ul
F uja
G(17) uc
H(18) op
I ot
J ok
K os
L on
M om
N ob
10(25) od

These two systems are interchangeable, and mixable, so a normal word for
100(base 10) would be <asod>, rather than <usod>(for lower numbers, the first
system is preferred) or <amacas>

Trust me, as soon as I get onto colloquial Zitubajan(Dialect from which SFZ*
is derived)

Also, you seem to be familiar with Zitwbata...which is odd, because I didn't
think anyone was....;)

*SFZ=Standard Formal Zitwbata
