Scales
|
||||
================================
|
||||
|
||||
With large numbers, values are separated in groups of three. The separator is `do`.
|
||||
With large numbers, over four digits, the typical convention is to write them out with a space or letter between each group of three.
|
||||
|
||||
wa padorechiko
|
||||
wa pa do rechiko
|
||||
[numeral] 1 [thousands] 234
|
||||
1,234
|
||||
we parechi moku
|
||||
[numeral] 123 45
|
||||
|
||||
If the entire group is zero, then the number itself can be skipped.
|
||||
To simplify numbers, `do` is used to indicate three zeros.
|
||||
|
||||
wa padorechiko
|
||||
wa pa dodo rechiko
|
||||
[numeral] 1 [thousands] [thousands] 234
|
||||
1,000,234
|
||||
padochi
|
||||
1 000 2
|
||||
10,002
|
||||
|
||||
Scales are based on the previous number, not the total magnitude. In English, one would say "1 billion, 1 thousand." In Miwāfu, one would say "1 thousand 1 thousand".
|
||||
In addition to `do`, there are additional scale syllables used for large numbers.
|
||||
|
||||
wa padopado
|
||||
wa pa do pa do
|
||||
[number] 1 [thousands] 1 [thousands]

In addition to using the thousands skip, there are additional amounts that can be interspersed with the number or used at the end.
