Numerics

The numerics in Theloskrit are based on the number 7, with compounded multiplication in alternating sets of 7 and 5.
The numbers themselves are represented by columns of dots. Each column represents a range of numbers, and is in this manner somewhat of a layered binary system. The columns go from right to left, the first column representing 1-7, the second, 7-35, the third, 35-245, and so on. For example, here is the Theloskrit numeric representation for the number 144,000:

And here, though arranged backwards for easier learning, are the numbers represented by the dots in each column, from right to left.

1 7 35 245 1225 8575 52875 367275 1846375 .....
2 14 70 490 2450 17150 102900 734550 3692750 .....
3 21 105 735 3675 25725 155775 1111825 5539125 .....
4 28 140 980 4900 34300 208650 1479100 7385500 .....
5 35 175 1225 6125 52875 261525 1846375 9231875 .....
6 210 7350 314400 11078250 .....
7 245 8575 367275 12924625 .....

So, using the above chart as a guide, this would be the explanation of the numeric.

Whereas the basic units in most numeral systems are 1, 10, 100, 1000, etc., the basic units in the Theloskrit numeral system are 1, 7, 35, 245, 1225, 8575, 52875, etc. The unit of a column can be found by multiplying the unit of the preceding column by 7 or 5, depending on if it is a balek or somek, respectively. The first column is a balek, the second is a somek, and so on in an alternating fashion.
