Number Construction
Numbers in Valorik are built by compounding numerical roots with place value words, using the following order:
- [Tens root][‘ty’ suffix] → [Hundreds root][‘hundred’ suffix] → [Units root]
Key Roots and Affixes
- 4 = d͡ʒonə
- ‘ty’ (×10) = koʊdə
- ‘hundred’ = sɑɪbə
Examples
Valorik | English Gloss | Explanation |
---|---|---|
d͡ʒonəkoʊdə | forty | 4 × 10 = 40 |
d͡ʒonəkoʊdəd͡ʒonə | forty-four | (40) + (4) |
d͡ʒonəkoʊdəsɑɪbəd͡ʒonə | four-thousand-four | (40 × 100) + 4 = 4,004 |
d͡ʒonəkoʊdəsɑɪbəd͡ʒonəkoʊdəd͡ʒonə | four-thousand-four-hundred-forty-four | (40 × 100) + (40) + (4) = 4,444 |
Construction Template
- [Tens root][‘ty’]([Hundreds root][‘hundred’])([Tens root][‘ty’])([Units root])
- Components are **concatenated** in decreasing order of magnitude, with no conjunctions.
General Pattern
- [X][multiplier][Y][multiplier][Z]...
- e.g., [tens][ty][hundreds][hundred][units]
- Examples:*
- 44 = [4][ty][4] = d͡ʒonəkoʊdəd͡ʒonə - 4,004 = [4][ty][hundred][4] = d͡ʒonəkoʊdəsɑɪbəd͡ʒonə - 4,444 = [4][ty][hundred][4][ty][4] = d͡ʒonəkoʊdəsɑɪbəd͡ʒonəkoʊdəd͡ʒonə
- No ‘and’ or additional words are used; numbers are purely compounding.*
