Base-12 Number System
Number system used in all of Toh'ren. It is based on twelve because of the twelve main San (the Muna San'bir and the Lostborn). Its great divisibility is believed to be sacred, specifically the numbers 2 (cor), 3 (satu), 4 (rux), 6 (orb) and 12 (corb).
Numbers after twelve are built on 12+__, or 12*__+__. "+" is represented by the " ' " as with many combined words in sandi.
The only other digits that have their own symbol are 120 and 360. All numbers can be made up from a combination of these 14 glyphs.
