Numerals
Arcadia uses two parallel number systems:
- Decimal system → Commonly used for general counting and calculations.
- Hexadecimal system → Included for future-proofing, allowing expanded numerical representation.
Numbers and Writing
- Hexadecimal notation uses
0-9
and A-F
, ensuring no overlap with written words, since Arcadia uses only lowercase letters for textual representation.
- Numbers are grouped using underscores (
_
) for clarity and unambiguous readability.

Larger Numbers
- After 999_999, both systems use powers of 1_000_000 to create names for arbitrarily large numbers.
- For one-word power formations, Arcadia replaces "ad X potente" with the suffix "-ente".
