<blockquote>
Made up as a way to more intuitively understand how binary counting would work, based how decimal counting works in most languages. A Toki Pona style additive counting system turned out to be perfect for that.

inspired by the north england sheep-counting rhyme &quot;[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yan_tan_tethera Yan Tan Tethera]&quot;. the only nimisinnimi sin it uses is that you need to have a '''stick''' and a '''pointy rock''' handy, or perhaps a ready supply of pebbles and a garment with a pocket
 
while counting your sheep (or knitting stitches) you simply recite this 20 word semi-nonsensical poem. whenever you get to &quot;ma&quot; you just score a stick with a sharp rock and start over. then each literal score represents a numerical score, a group of 20. its so easy! be sure to count heads frequently and not overgraze the commons!

=== [senary] [signed digits] [half humorous] nasin nanpa kijetesantakalu pona, tan jan Meje ===
2023-05-10, [https://thoughtsofmine.ca/posts/nasin-nanpa-kijetesantakalu-pona/ blog post]<blockquote>''nasin nanpa kijetesantakalu pona'' is a numbering system in toki pona which uses the syllables of the word “kijetesantakalu” to represent the digits (-3 to 3) of a signed-digit Senary number, in the order of highest-to-lowest digits.
The digits are represented as follows:
 
* “ki”: ''-3''
* “je”: ''-2''
* “te”: ''-1''
* “san”: ''0''
* “ta”: ''1''
* “ka”: ''2''
* “lu”: ''3''

'''Digits (reason below):'''

'''At any point, spell the digits. Use mute before a number to introduce a cardinal number, if necessary. Use pi to introduce scientific notation XYZ pi W = X.YZ *10^W (first digit has weight 10^W).'''

'''Finally, use weka before a number to add a negative sign. Use en to add numbers, as usual. You can compound pi's. It associates on the right X pi (Y pi Z)'''

2021-10-10, Extended explanation in the [https://www.reddit.com/r/tokipona/comments/q5cfqv/nasin_nanpa_pi_pi_nanpa_pi_toki_pona/ reddit post], there are more examples there. Two rules:
 
* '''''A) List the number's digits in decimal one after the other. Use commas to separate them (pauses when speaking). A comma can be omitted if there is no ambiguity. Optionally you can have &quot;a&quot; instead of comma. Digits use additivity like in the following. Each digit uses words in decreasing order to reduce ambiguity.'''''
Line 1,002 ⟶ 1,073:
1500 - wan, luka, ala, ala
</blockquote>
* '''''B) Optionally, say digitsA + pi + digitsB. This is interpreted as: The &quot;weight&quot; of the first digit in digitsBdigitsA is 10^(the number digitsAdigitsB expresses), and then each following digit has a weight that is decreased by a factor of 10. You can stop earlier or introduce decimals.'''''

<code>pi</code> is used because when you say 2000 you are saying the two of the third (power of ten) that is tu pi tu wan.
<code>pi</code> is used because if you say &quot;two thousand&quot;, then &quot;two&quot; is an adjective of the noun &quot;thousand&quot;, so the Toki Pona structure of this would be thousand pi two. The number 2,000 is the thousand of two which is the &quot;three (the third power of ten) of two&quot;: <code>tu wan pi tu</code>. [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PyaRXd21Du_nNIxXVOIuOzPTsFufjk5g This is a recording] saying 37; 352; 2000 and 2 sextillions(10^21) to show how to disambiguate with pauses.
 
* '''''C) Extra rule (can be ignored). Use weka at the beginning of a list of digits as a minus sign. It can go both before <code>pi</code> and after <code>pi</code>. weka in the middle means the digit is negative'''''

[[Category:Number systems| ]]
numbers are treated as names in this system
 
headnouns:<blockquote>mute - amounts, quantities, cardinal numbers
 
nanpa - orders, placements, ordinal numbers</blockquote>
 
===== name construction =====
<p />
each prime lower than 17 gets its own syllable. these are multiplied together to get the final number.<blockquote>2 - tu
 
3 - sa
 
<p />5 - lu
 
7 - si
 
<p />11 - pe
 
13 - ke</blockquote>to say primes over 13, or composite numbers with prime factors over 13, use the prefix "wa", meaning "the next prime". this can be chained as many times as you want to get any arbitrarily high prime number.
 
===== examples =====
<blockquote>mute Satu - 6
 
nanpa Lutu - 10<sup>th</sup>
 
mute Pe - 11
 
mute Pepe - 121
 
<p />mute Wawake - 19<p />
 
mute Wawawawawawawawawaketu - 94</blockquote><p />pros:
 
<ul /><li />names of numbers are highly descriptive of their properties
<li />great complement to nasin nanpa pona (many larger numbers are easier to say)
<li />technically only pu words
<li />yummy nice numbers are easy to say
<li />no ambiguity
 
<p />cons:
 
<ul /><li>hard to count with</li>
<li>math (ew)</li>
<li />gross numbers (numbers with large prime factors) have 29 syllables
 
<p />if you are the kind of person to want to do '''linear algebra''' in ''<b />toki pona'', then this is the system for you ig
