Has anyone tried to figure out the number system?  Hmmm From what I understand, numbers are formed by combining different syllables that stand for numbers from 0 to 9 (and maybe "hundred").

Here's what I got:

Ritu = 1 + hundred
Hi = 9
Li = 8
Di = 7
Ni = 6
Bi = 5
Ki = 4
Mi = 3
Ti = 2
Ri = 1
Si = 0

So Kudorin's name is Rituliti. Ritu = 100. Li = 8. Ti = 2. So he's number 182.
Remin is Hiti, which is 9 and 2, so he's number 92. And so on.

I'm not sure about Ritu, but I think it might in fact be two "words": ri which is 1, and "tu" which is the equivalent of "hundred". So ri+tu = one hundred. And ti+tu = two hundred and mitu, kitu, bitu, etc. 

So, Anosakim Inanosat Selorin A Ritusiti is number one hundred (ritu), 0 (si) and 2 (ti), which is 102.

You won't believe how proud of myself I was the day I could rattle off "ri ti mi ki bi ni di li hi si" without cheating.

I'm not even going to hazard a guess as to how Matthew managed to figure all that out.  Because I sure as heck can't, lol.  I know numbers in 5 languages.. I think it works.  Then again, my German's not good enough but still.

:p

If you go to the main ITL page where chatper links are and scroll down past the shorts, there's a list of links. The first, Rini's introduction to OA, is a single page, but the links below it are all on the same page, including "Fun Facts", which has the number system, among other things. I love the info page, especially the Anorian calendar.  Cheesy

I actually have the info pages printed out so I can refer to them when I'm not online.
