Other comments: The Seimat numeral systems is a quinary system. Numbers from 'one'

to 'five' and the word for 'twenty' are unique forms, all other forms are combinations.

Numbers from 'six' to 'nine' are compounds based on 'five', plus the first numbers. The

word seilon 'twenty' also means 'person'. Presumably it refers to a full set of hands and feet. The above Seimat numbers apply to general counting.

Other numbers: 101. seilon tepanim tehu, 200. seilon h:uopanim ?.
