Here are the numbers, folks!
Latin Numerals in Fortunatian
These are general purpose numerals.
CF
1 /unau/ [uno] /una/ [una]
2 /dyo/ [d1@]
3 /chex/ [t.Es]
4 /pattaur/ [pattor]
5 /pincu/ [piNku]
6 /xecs/ [SekS]
7 /xoft/ [S@ft]
8 /octau/ [@kto]
9 /nob/ [n@b]
10 /doc/ [d@k]
Guanche Numerals in Fortunatian
Fortunatians use Guanche numerals from 1 to 10 to count livestock and
slaves. It would be a grave insult to use them to count freemen.
OF CF
1 nait/ben
2 smetti/lini [smetti/rini] /xmotti/
[Sm@tti]
3 amelotti/amiat [amelotti/amiat] /arrotti/
[arr@tti]
4 acodetti/arba [akodetti/arba] /actotti/
[akt@tti]
5 simusetti/cansa [simusetti/kansa] /xixotti/ [SiS@tti]
6 sesetti/sumus [sesetti/sumus] /xotti/
[S@tti]
7 satti/sat [satti/sat] /xatti/
[Satti]
8 tamatti/set [tamatti/set] /tamatti/
[tamatti]
9 alda marava/acot [alda marava/akot] /arda marba/
[arda marba]
10 marava/marago [maraba/marago] /marba/ [marba]
Etruscan Numerals
The Fortunatians use Etruscan numerals for `mystic' purposes such as
folk magic. It is widely believed that "ochucsa numora" should not be
uttered in a church or in the presence of a priest. Despite sporadic
attempts at suppression by the clergy, this system of counting
remains vigorously alive.
CF
1 thu [tu:] > [tu] /tu/
1 is the number of unity and its name places emphasis on the unity of
every being. Therefore it is homophonous with "thou".
2 zal, esl [t_sal] > /tsar/ [t_sar]
3 ci [ki:] > /qui/ [ki]
4 Sa [Sa] > /xa/ [Sa]
5 mach [mak] > /mac/ [mak]
6 huth [hu:t] > /hut/ [hut]
7 semph [semp] > /xof/ [S@f]
Note: Fortunatian theologians have connected this word with the
Hebrew /sheba'/, which means `seven', and Latin /semper/ `always',
concluding that seven is the ideal number.
8 cezp [ket_sp] > [ke:sp] > /quefs/ [kefs]
9 nurph [nu:rp] > [nu:rfa] > /nurf/ [nurf]
10 Sar [Sar] > /xar/ [Sar]
11-15 As in Latin

17 ci-em zathrum [ki:-em t_satrum] > /quintsach/ [ki:nt_sat.]
