title_body: Words for numbers in a language with bijective numeration Bijective base-k numeration (or k-adic numeration) is a system of writing numerals such that the digits are 1 through k. Thus counting in bijective base-12 (such as my conlang Atili has) works as follows, using X, E, and T for ten, eleven, and twelve, respectively:
   1,  2,  3,  4,  5,  6,  7,  8,  9,  X,  E,  T,
  11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 1X, 1E, 1T,
  21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 2X, 2E, 2T,
  ...
  
  What are reasonable ways to assign names to these numbers, specifically combining tens? Obviously, I could just name the numbers the way English does and just have the names for numbers not line up with how they are written (so &quot;a dozen&quot; would be T, but &quot;a dozen and one&quot; 11), but are there other solutions for naming that better align with the way that numbers are written?
upvoted_answer: Just have two different words, like &quot;twelve&quot; (T) and &quot;dozen&quot;. Than the number 1T is one-dozen-and-twelve.
