Counting in Epigean

Language overview

Forty-two in Epigean Epigean (Khalradre y Nepiťİ-li) is an artistic language designed by the French conlanger Zeidra Senester. It is a non-human language spoken by dryads. With no verb, but four particles (modal, semantic, temporal, aspective), the Epigean language minimal sentence counts four words. Its writing system is the Epıcz Futharkıs, a.k.a. HyťArki y Nepiťİ-li, evolved from the Aśan Futharkıs, a runic alphabet, with a transliteration system. It is influenced by another of his conlang used in the same world, Aczu Śavnecze (or Aśan), but also by Gaulish and French.

Epigean numbering rules

Now that you’ve had a gist of the most useful numbers, let’s move to the writing rules for the tens, the compound numbers, and why not the hundreds, the thousands and beyond (if possible).

  • Digits from zero to nine are rendered by specific words, namely iťO [0], pid [1], dy [2], ki [3], sæt [4], moun [5], nad [6], amku [7], amd [8], and amgi [9].
  • Compound numbers from eleven to nineteen are formed starting with the name of the unit (sometimes with certain vowel modifications), directly followed by the word for ten (piit), with no space: pidepiit [11], dẏpiit [12], kipiit [13], satyrpiit [14], monpiit [15], nadepiit [16], amkypiit [17], amdepiit [18], and amgiipiit [19].
  • Tens from ten to ninety are formed starting with the letter a, directly followed by the root of the multiplying unit, except for ten itself: piit [10], adul [20], akit [30], asat [40], amon [50], anat [60], amyk [70], amat [80], and amac [90].
  • Compound numbers from twenty-one to ninety-nine are formed starting with the name of the unit (sometimes with certain vowel modifications), directly followed by the ten (eg.: pidakit [31], amdamyk [78], nadamac [96]).
  • Hundreds are formed starting with the word for hundred (singular: pæpa; plural: pæpi), followed by the multiplier unit separated by a space: pæpa pid [100], pæpi dy [200], pæpi ki [300], pæpi sæt [400], pæpi moun [500], pæpi nad [600], pæpi amku [700], pæpi amd [800], and pæpi amgi [900].
  • Thousands are formed starting with the word for thousand (singular: souc; plural: soc), followed by the multiplier unit separated by a space: souc pid [1,000], soc dy [2,000], soc ki [3,000], soc sæt [4,000], soc moun [5,000], soc nad [6,000], soc amku [7,000], soc amd [8,000], and soc amgi [9,000].
  • Millions are formed starting with the word for million (singular: milia; plural: melia), followed by the multiplier unit separated by a space: milia pid [1 million], melia dy [2 millions], melia ki [3 millions]…
  • The words for hundred, thousand and million are 1rst class nouns, hence they follow a very specific inflections set.
