OK I'll repeat my system because there were a mistake and NOBODY seems to
have understood it.

The vowel tells 10, 100, 1.000, 10.000 etc. it is between the two consonants
(kOko, nAno, nEno) but 1 is represented by no vowel.

And the consonants tell the number witch with we multiply the power of 10



0 zo

1 ko  (no vowel between another: 1, k: 1 -> 1*1 = 1)
2 no  (no vowel between another: 1, n: 2 -> 1*2 = 2)
3 mo
4 lo
5 vo
6 fo
7 bo
8 go
9 po

10 koko       ("o" (between the "k's") for 10 and k for 1 -> 10*1 = 10)
11 koko ko   ("o" for 10, k for 1 -> 10 + ko: 1 = 11)
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      ("o" between the "n's" for 10 and n for 2 -> 10*2 = 20)
21 nono ko
22 nono no

30 momo

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

"a" between the "n's": 100, n: 2 -> 100*2 = 200
"o" between the "m's": 10, m: 3 -> 10*3 = 30
single vowel: 1, b: 7 -> 1*7 = 7
