Numerals, Saguza

    Saguzaharasat, the language of the Saguzahar uses a base-six number system. Each of their characters/syllables has a corresponding numerical value associated with it. Under normal usage, only the base numbers (zero through five) are used. However, for numerological purposes, each letter's value can be used to calculate a numerical value associated with a given word. This seems to reflect a shift in the way numbers are handled in the language over time. Indeed, the assignment of values to letters doesn't seem to have a sensical progression, and implies that the values were either assigned at random, have been changed eclectically over time, or that the alphabet once had a different arrangement. 

    

Saguzaharasat

    The Saguzahar language (Saguzaharasat) is the tongue spoken by the Saguzahar people, a race of unusual, long-limbed troglodytic humanoids native to the south-eastern mountain ranges of the Midal Realm. Their language is spoken with a somewhat small pallet of phonemes, and written with a rigid, mostly phonetic syllabary. Although the transcription of Saguza writing into Latin characters attempts to approximate accurate pronunciation, there are certain rules for when particular vowel sounds are dropped, among other orthographic conventions, that must be accounted for in transcription.

Colors, Exotic
