numeration system

I invented a numeration system with my conlang and I would like you to check
if it works.

There is a consonant for each number(zero has its own consonant) and a vowel
for 10, 100, 1000 ...

0 zo
2 ko
3 no
4 mo
5 lo
6 vo
7 fo
8 bo
9 po

10 koko
11 koko ko
12 koko no
13 koko mo
14 koko lo
15 koko vo
16 koko fo
17 koko bo
18 koko go
19 koko po

20 nono
21 nono ko
22 nono no

30 momo

100 kako
101 kako ko
120 kako nono
237 nano momo bo

1000 kiko
4528 lilo vavo nono go

10 000              ke`ko
100 000            keko
1 000 000          kuko
10 000 000        koeko
100 000 000      ko~ko
1 000 000 000   ke`~ko

1 473 652 098    ke`~ko lo~lo boebo mumo fefo ve`vo nino papo go


So the vowel means 10, 100, 1000 ... and the number there are multiplicated
by is indicated by the consonant

"z" is used only for de zero


These are cardinal numbers they end in -o
ordinal numbers change the -o in -i
collective: -a
distributive: -e
fractions: -e`
multiplicatives: -u



What do you think about it ??
