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.

Basic Numerals

Arcadia defines core numbers with distinct names in both decimal and hexadecimal systems.

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".
