Counting in G’Vunna

Language overview

G’Vunna is the language of Lokheim in the world of Athanor, from the video game Arena of Valor, a multiplayer online battle arena published by Tencent Games. The full name of the language is Zudǝllǝ g’Vunnǝ, which means “the language from the abyss”. The G’Vunna language script, derived from the Veda’s, is also named Oz script, from the Veda word os, meaning razor or blade. It is part of the four constructed languages developped by David J. Peterson for this game, the others being Afata, Gandal and Veda.

Due to lack of data, we can only count accurately up to 10 in G’Vunna. Please contact me if you can help me counting up from that limit.
