Re: numeration system

I've read all commentaries about my system

I never thought it would start so much discutions!
I never thought it would turn over a discution on phone numbers...


I will make the final o (or other final vowel if not cardinal) longer, and
place a stress to distinct "koko" and "ko ko" or "no no" and "nono"

I will also remove the similarities between k/g and f/v, but I think that
the similarity between b and p is not enough to cause problem.

I'll keep the fact of removing the useless "o's" but only when the
consonants it is between are not the same.

(S is like sh, ' is after the stressed (and long) vowel, è is the frensh
"è", ö is the frensh "eu", ~ is nasalisation)


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 so'
6 fo'
7 bo'

1 124 558 999    kè~ko' ko~k nön lul seso' sès SiS papo' popo' po'

"z" is used only for the zero


These are cardinal numbers they end in -o  (lo: four)
ordinal numbers change the -o in -i            (li: fourth)
collective: -a
distributive: -e
fractions: -e`                                          (le: quarter)
multiplicatives: -u


SO

-> the difference between "1 1" and "10" is that the first is " ko' ko' "
and the second " koko' "

-> the difference between "11" and "1 1" is that the first is " koko' " and
the second "koko ko" there are never double or longer consonants



Have I forgot any problem or ambiguity???
