I'm sorry, but this looks like the real source of a lot of syllables...

Very good point, this is an old concept. Thanks for pointing it out, I'll update this now. Since then, I've realised that "th" is very useful. I've tried other sounds but so far they don't work as well.

It's still funny that the fraction digits are simply read individually, while integer ones have names for (base)^2 or (base)^3 and maybe (base)^6, it must be because people want to know how large an integer is right away, whereas when you read 0.646dE8 only the first three or four digits affect the value much and it's already known where they are (versus millions, billions, etc. place). I might end up calling 100 as base 42 "square sieven" and 1000 "cube sieven" and similarly 1,000,000 "sixth power sieven." I have to include "power" because just "sixth sieven" would sound like "six sieven" or 60. One of the letters I don't use is Q, so I might say 1Q6 to represent 1,000,000 as an alternative scientific notation to the 1E6 sort of thing used on calculators. E is my twenty-four symbol. I don't prefer 1*10^6 because that's lengthy.

Yeah, I like to think of it as groupings of 3: 478 as hundreds, tens, ones Then you wrap them up in a package and start again: 1,000 as 1 thousand
It makes sense, language is about giving more information with less effort for both the speaker and the listener.
1,000 would be: one ten of ten of ten.
How many people are on planet earth? 7,373,149,965, 7 tens of 3 tens of 7 tens of 3 tens of 1 tens of 4 tens of 9 tens of 9 tens of 6 tens of 5
Ouch, and imagine if we never used the commas: 7373149965
For binary, we group them in 4's: 1 0010 1011 0101 = 4,789
But I like using groups of 3's, since 3 has a middle for each grouping: 1, 3 [6] 5, 2 [4] 2
If you want a mind F^$#, look up, "lakh and crore". It's terrible, I can't imagine why they would torture themselves like that.
----------------------
Ahh yes, I do love using 1E6 rather than 1*10^6, it's nicer. It would however, mess with my Elv number since 1EE would be illegible. One solution I see is puting "Ex" instead, 1ExE, but that still causes problems.
That's a very good point, something I should look into soon, thanks!

You won't use the Q for exponent? It doesn't make sense conceptually since Q is a quotient or in some cases even a product. I don't have an E in the symbol set for trigesimal so I can still use E for it.

What about lowercase E? 8.9EEe+76 That is legible.

In context, that works (unless you use large bases as I do, where e is twenty-seven). Then I need more context because e is commonly Euler's Number = 2 + 1/2 + 1/6 + 1/(4!) + 1/(5!) + ...
