Base 20 vigesimal ogham counting

Ok first I gotta teach you what I found with the base twenty numbering I put for each letter so heres the
letters and numbers first so you can work with it yourself as well (remember this is only one way every
number is infinite there is no difference)
B=1
L=2
F=3
S=4
N=5

H=6
D=7
T=8
C=9
Q=10

M=11
G=12
Ng=13
Sr=14
R=15

thats the consonants they go up in ordinal values then the vowels go up in 20s like so

A=20
O=40
U=60
E=80
I=100

then the long vowels are double so I just add them like so

EA= 100
OI=140
UI=160
IO=140
AE=100

for now the long vowels are not that important we will get back to them later
first lets do a bit of counting with this system an make sure you also look up vigesimal counting in use in
Europe in before arabic numerals at some stage as well to see where I got the idea
Ok so I can count up to 15 from B = 1 to R= 15 but A is 20 to get to there I put B on top of R B+R=16=BR
ect on up like so LR=17 FR=18 SR=19 and then A=20
BA=21 LA=22 FA=23 SA=24 NA=25 obviously you can have the order swapped around like say 24 can be
AS and 25 can be AN the Irish word THE
so I will keep going up for a bit cause people have to see to believe so 26=HA 27=DA 28=TA 29=CA
30=QA (pronounced Cua for Q when you see Cu in modern Irish its counted as Q and pronounced Cu but
C is a K sound)31=MA (11=M + 20=A=31=MA) the same thing 32=GA 33=NgA 34=StrA and 35=RA.Then
to do 36 its B=1 + R=15 + A=20 = 36=BRA 37=LRA 38=FRA 39= SRA and then O=40 41=BO 42=LO 43=FO
ect going up the same way 55=RO 56=BRO 57= LRO now lets say I get up to 100 thats I=100 99 would
have been SRE=99 S=4 R=15 E=80 total 99 and you continue on up this way counting saying number
words.So lets take a random word number 116 = BRI as in brigid.Take the name dagda if you add his
letters together base twenty you get D=7 a= 20 g=12 d=7 a=20 = 66 the number of the great work the
Qliphoth (dagdas cauldron) ALLAH in arabic adds to 66 dagdas consonants in odinal value dgd add too
26 so does YHVH = 26 tetragramaton.So dagdas name adds to 66 in base 20 the word for that is
HU=66.Anyway got side tracked back to the number words doing multiples of 100s Say Im doing 199
thats SREI add them up = 199.I want to do 200 but 102 = LI = 2+100 = 102 But to do 200 i say I=100
multiplied by L=2 is IL=200 instead of LI = 102 it depends on position if I=100 is after a consonant I add
LI=102.If a consonant is after I=100 IL=200 I multiply
101 = BI
102 =LI
103 = FI
104 = SI
105 = NI
but multiples of 100
200 = IL 2x100
300 = IF 3x100
400 = IS 4x100
500 = IN 5x100
600 = IH 6x100
700 = ID 7x100
800 = IT 8x100
900 = IC 9x100
1000 = IQ 10x100
2000 = IA 20x100
3000 = IQA 30x100
4000 = IO 40x100
5000 = IQO 50x100
6000 = IU 60x100
7000 = IQU 70x100
8000 = IE 80x100
9000 = IQE 90x100
10,000 = II 100x100 a long vowel might be used to make 10,000 sound better example EA = 100 so
10,000 could be EA I = 10,000 obviously the EA long vowel Ebad is one character so it makes more sense
when done in ogham
Anyway back to more counting so you get a better picture a random number 455 would be 15=R + O=40
=55 thats the word RO 400 is 100x4 = IS put the 55 RO and 400 IS together you get ROIS dont run away
yet it gets better 456 = BROIS 457 = LROIS 458 = FROIS 459 = SROIS 460 = UIS 461= BUIS and wait for it
462=LUIS the second letter in the ogham RUIS = 475 thats the metonic cycle when the sun and moon
meet up again in sink every 19 years the sun moves around its axis 25 times a year 19x25 = 475
sun days rotations.Another one is Sail = 224 venus ordit is something like 224.7 days a year but the Fili
didnt have as accurate measurements as us so I would say 224 was good enough back then.Thats just
some of the stuff I found I have also found some Irish words still in use that are 20 number words and
you must admit it follows a kind of grammatical correctness.The words that come out of the letters
maybe thats just one way also the traditional base ten decimal the greeks and hebrews use is valid I will
have to do a base 20 gemartia list in future to see how useful it is this way but every number is infinite so
its all the same really.
