I just came across this thread about the base-20 system of the Inuit people and the numerals invented for it in the 1990s: https://mathstodon.xyz/@johncarlosbaez/110215432175491555 This makes simple calculations just beautiful. Hraban

It is beautiful :-) Thanks for the pointer! Best, Arthur

Hi! dit is really interesting, I just spent two hours reading different sources. And yes, the SIL GentiumKatovik made the wikipedia show everything nicely! Thanks Hraban Willi

Hans, genial. Once you told to me “hoe krijg je het voor elkaar…”. Now I tell you, how do you get this done… the mail has not even had the time to “cool” down and you post this. I am astonished. Kind regards Willi

Thank you very much! I want to use this for paginations ;)) (Sorry for somewhat erratical response behavior – I’m quite busy preparing for the book fair in Leipzig…) Hraban
Hi everybody, because I am not a mathematician, I looked on the internet for more explanations for the Katovik numerals. I found on YouTube films, worthwhile to enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIZB4bRwxqI&ab_channel=Dave%27sMathVideos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObRFHiU_r9I&ab_channel=TheFerret Willi

Hi Willi, What fun! I think I found a couple math items to correct. 1) The second line of the tables at the top of page 2 should be: 1000' 100, 10, 1; 8000, 400, 20, 1 2) For the year conversion: 2023 = 5x20^2 + 1x20 + 3. (Your 0 should be my 1). This will give a three digit Kaktovik numeral. You have 4 digit Kaktovik numerals for 2023, with both a 0 and a 1. Gavin
