User:Vel!/Naming systems

Googologists often call for extended systems of numbers to come up with names. Here are some sequences; some have already been used and some not. I do like the idea of exploring languages other than English, Latin, and Greek, as well as other hierarchical systems.


 * English: zero, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, ...
 * Latin: -, uni, du, tri, quadri, quinta, sexa, septa, octo, novem, deca, ...
 * Greek: -, mono, di, tri, tetra, penta, hexa, hepta, octo, ennea, deca, ...
 * Spanish: cero, uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, siete, ocho, nueve, diez, ...
 * Chinese: ling, yi, er, san, si, wu, liu, qi, ba, jiu, shi, ... [Chinese is a tonal language, but we don't want tonal googologisms, do we?]
 * Japanese: rei, ichi, ni, san, yon, go, roku, nana, hachi, kyuu, juu, ...
 * Planets: sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune
 * US Army: lieutenant, captain, major, colonel, general [Jabe used this with "admiral" thrown in.]
 * Gems: sapphire, diamond, emerald, ruby [Aarex has used this, and in fact inspired this page.]
