Rihannsu Numbers

The Rihannsu use a number system similar, yet different from its human coiunterparts. The below list should help the reader piece together Rihannsu versions of human numbers with a minimum of fuss, listing some Rihannsu numbers and their human translations.

The Rihannsu number system is based on the first ten numbers. Any number past ten is a combination of these numbers. Starting with the number twenty, the suffix "-hn" is added. For example, the number "til" (2) combined with the suffix "-hn" makes "til-hn", the Rihannsu number for twenty. The same process is used for hundreds, using the suffix "-ptil" (p concatenated with til, representing two zeros). Past the hundreds, the system is more complex. The apparent suffix this time represents the place value. Using this number system, there is a Rihannsu number for every standard English number.
