[edit] Building Numbers

As in English, D'ni digits are listed from lowest place on the right to highest place on the left. Each place is a high power of 25.

Place	D'ni number	D'ni suffix
25's place (251)	10[?]	-see (-sE[?])
625's place (252)	100[?]	-rah (-ra[?])
15,625's place (253)	1000[?]	-len (-len[?])
390,625's place (254)	10000[?]	-mel (-mel[?])
9,765,625's place (255)	100000[?]	-blo (-blo[?])

D'ni uses suffixes to indicate the digit's place. For example 26 is ^[?], pronounced fahseefah (fasEfa^[?]).

[edit] Other Numerals

• |^[?] - used to denote 25 , but is not used as a digit. Its name is fahsee (fasE^[?]).
• =^[?] - sometimes called a "wraparound zero" , as it has been seen in place of a zero, but usually in a circle of numbers, like on a clock.
• +^[?] - meaning unknown, but included in Dnifont
