Document Summary

If x is in l, then x is in sl. If y is in sl and z is in sl, then yz is in sl. Vri; a 0, b 1, c 2, d 3. If y is in sl and z is in l, then i(yz) = 4 x i(y) + i(z) Bcdaa = 1 x 44 + 2 x 43 + 3 x 42 + 0 x 41 + 0 x 40. If you put a"s before the expression, it doesn"t change the value (if a 0) But not if you add it at the end. U, d, h, t, m (will be used to represent the minoan numerals for which we cannot find the appropriate symbols) You cannot use more than 9 of the same symbol together. There are 5 symbols, so a maximum of 45 symbols per expression. You can write du, but you cannot write ud. M > t > h > d > u.
