I have to admit that I'm not sure what 'alphabet numbering' _exactly_

Alphabet numbering (or numerals) is a numbering system using letters.
Most languages had such a numbering system before the adoption of the
Hindu-Arabic one.
Numerals are interesting to have to numbered lists and numbering of
chapters/sections.
For example,
a. Collect lemons
b. Make juice
c. Sell drinks
d. Profit!
When you translate this text into Bulgarian/Serbian/etc, wouldn't it be
nice to have Cyrillic numerals as well?
For more on Cyrillic numerals, see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrillic_numerals
Wikipedia has information for numerals around other languages as well.
If you are doing work on numerals for your language, you may consider
investigating this draft as well,
http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-css3-lists-20021107/
for CSS3 (Cascading StyleSheets v3). When this is implemented, Web
browsers will have in-built support for numerals in your language.

Yeah, give it a try, please. E.g., all equivalent East Slavonic systems forbid
"HARD SIGN" (Ъ) in numbering.
I believe we don't have them neither, but to be sure - please -
somebody explain me in short what a hard sign is (Ю, Я, Й and Ь we
don't use at all)..
hope this helps, I know it looks like I came from Mars :)
cheers
