Hi Willi,
What fun! I think I found a couple math items to correct.
1) The second line of the tables at the top of page 2 should be:
1000' 100, 10, 1; 8000, 400, 20, 1
2) For the year conversion: 2023 = 5x20^2 + 1x20 + 3. (Your 0 should be my 1).
This will give a three digit Kaktovik numeral. You have 4 digit Kaktovik
numerals for 2023, with both a 0 and a 1.

Re: [NTG-context] Kaktovik numerals
Hi Willi, What fun! I think I found a couple math items to correct. 1) The second line of the tables at the top of page 2 should be: 1000' 100, 10, 1; 8000, 400, 20, 1 2) For the year conversion: 2023 = 5x20^2 + 1x20 + 3. (Your 0 should be my 1). This will give a three digit Kaktovik numeral. You have 4 digit Kaktovik numerals for 2023, with both a 0 and a 1.
