Gumeric numbers

Page history last edited by Michael van der Gulik 5 mos ago

Gumeric numbers are easier to read, say and memorise than other number encodings.

 

Numbers are expressed firstly in bytes. There's an endian issue, so maybe use little endian?

 

The bytes are then split into two parts: a 5-bit consonent and a 3-bit vowel. You then make syllables starting with a consonent and ending with a vowel. Words are 2 syllables each and separated by spaces.

 

The consonents are:

 

00000 b

00001 br

00010 ch

00011 d

00100 dr

00101 f

00110 g

00111 gr

01000 h

01001 j

01010 k

01011 kw

01100 l

01101 m

01110 n

01111 p

10000 pl

10001 pr

10010 r

10011 s

10100 sh

10101 sk

10110 skr

10111 spl

11000 spr

11001 t

11010 tr

11011 v

11100 w

11101 x

11110 y

11111 z

 

The vowels, with Japanese/Maori pronuciation, are:

 

000 a

001 e

010 i

011 o

100 u

101 ai (dipthong as in "Mike")

110 ou (dipthoung as in "ouch")

111 y (as in "bit").

 

So instead of: 0xDEADBEEF, you say "vouskai splouxy".
