    Sorry to ping you a bunch with replies. I’m curious now, do you have unique numeral symbols for the numbers after 9?

      No, we use the same numeral symbols as everyone else. We just pronounce it in the most unintuitive manner possible.

      I can imagine that we once had symbols representing the base 20 system but standardised at some point to decimal symbols. I though haven’t encountered any piece of history to back that up.
