I suggest that we set a number system for Surish in a separate thread from the language itself.

Unless there is a pre-existant number system, here is my suggestion for the Surish number system:
demalt=zero: 0
tin=one: 1
gett=two: 2
boff=three: 3
jex=four: 4
vuun=five: 5
kien=six: 6
tups=seven: 7
min=eight: 8
des=nine: 9
------------------------------------------------------------------------
tin-e-demalt=ten: 10
tin-e-tin=eleven: 11
tin-e-gett=twelve: 12
tin-e-boff=thirteen: 13
tin-e-jex=fourteen: 14
tin-e-vuun=fifteen: 15
tin-e-kien=sixteen: 16
tin-e-tups=seventeen: 17
tin-e-min=eighteen: 18
tin-e-des=nineteen: 19
gett-e-demalt=twenty: 20
------------------------------------------------------------------------
tin-e-gett-e-boff-e-jex-e-vuun-e-kien-e-tups-e-min-e-des=123,456,789
It's a simple, self-explanatory system and it certainly has a much better way of saying one hundred twenty-three million, four hundred fifty-six thousand, seven hundred, and eighty-nine.
