How to Count to 1296 in Ngkolmpu

[ysabetwordsmith]

So much fun.  :D 

I am reminded of the Cheela invention of counting, which uses a very similar method but ends up in base 12 instead of base 6.

Are you familiar with the YouTube channel Artifexian? (That link goes to his curated playlist page).

He (Edgar), does videos on sci-fi worldbuilding, going into detail about the physics of different sized planets, stars, climates, atmospheres, etc. ...And then he addresses how all those different elements can influence different alien cultures, and the evolution of languages. His single longest playlist is on conlangs, and he cites examples from a wide range of existing human languages, and not just the "big 5."

Even though my writing hasn't taken me into this kind of worldbuilding, yet, I still enjoy his work, 'cause it gives my mind something to chew on when thinking about this world I'm living in.
