Actually we have to differentiate between pure alphabet numbering that
you described, and native numeral systems like those of Hebrew, Greek,
Chinese, ... to express numbers, that can also be used in numbering
context and are offered as "Native Numbering" in the Numbering listbox
of Writer's Bullets And Numbering dialog's Options tabpage, but can
generally be used to display numbers using the number formatter's
[NatNum#] modifier(s). A bit confusing sometimes.
