I'd agree that it is likely ONE+TENS. Looking at the original proposal and articles on the number system .... it was originally 1-9, 10, 11-19, 20-99 etc
But became 1-9, 11-19, 20-99, etc during the deliberations on the model the numbers would follow. A. At least thats how I reconstrct it from the public documrnts I have seen.

The system is then additive. I don't know how zero is represented. Note that for base 10, when the first digit is 1 (i.e. for numbers 11-19), the combining character is not 1E8D1 (TENS) but 1E8D0 (TEENS), i.e. the slash-like glyph. But the description says that TEENS is only for numbers 11-19, not for number 10. >>> But I agree that there should be a reference in http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1E800.pdf, to the description in http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode8.0.0/ch19.pdf (section 19.8, pages 722-723) that would explain how to render 10 (add some rows in table 19-6 for the numbers 10/100/.../1,000,000). >>> This leaves a hole in the description. I'm not sure that the glyph for PU is exactly the glyph for 10. Or what is the appropriate sequence: ONE+TENS (1E8C7,1E8D1) or ONE+TEENS (1E8C7,1E8D0) ? The description is ambiguous, and probably both sequences should produce the equivalent glyph. However the letter PU (when meaning number 10) looks more like the glyph produced by ONE+TEN (1E8C7,1E8D1). >>> Then how to represent zero ? Probably by a syllable or word meaning "none" (don't know which it is), or by using European or Arabic digits (as indicated in Chapter 19). >>> >>> >>> 2016-06-10 8:15 GMT+02:00 Andrew Cunningham <[email protected]>: >>>> >>>> Ok looking at issue again I guess the other alternative is to have a discontiguous set of numbers.

When the model for Mende Kikakui numbers was changed before the finalising of the code block, the number ten was removed.
