===== Compound Numbers =====

The Threadwielder system does not have a fixed base and instead chains numbers together as factors. To prevent this from resulting in excessively long words for numbers, the number being used as a base usually has its distinct suffix shortened into a prefix. A final //-atel// suffix is optional.

If you were so inclined, you could use the long form and just go haywire:

  aralaraharazarasharar
  = aralarah'arazarasharar
  = atel'aralarah'arazarasharar
  = atel + aral * arah + araz * arash * arar
  = 0 + 30 + 8
  = 38 (decimal)

...but you might get murdered for it. :)
  
Example shorthand usage with bases:

  maraz
  = atel'maraz
  = atel'arazaram
  = atel + araz * (aram)
  = 0 + 1 * (10^1)
  = 10 (decimal)

  matelmaraz
  = atelatelaramarazaramaram
  = atel'atelaram'arazaramaram
  = atel + atel * (aram) + araz * (aram * aram)
  = 0 + 0 * (10^1) + 1 * (10^2)
  = 100 (decimal)

  arahmaraz
  = arah'maraz
  = arah'arazaram
  = arah + araz * (aram)
  = 6 + 1 * (10^1)
  = 16 (decimal)

  arahmarazmaraz
  = arah'maraz'maraz
  = arah'arazaram'arazaramaram
  = arah + araz * (aram) + araz * (aram * aram)
  = 6 + 1 * (10^1) + 1 * (10^2)
  = 116 (decimal)

  arazsharazshatelsharaz
  = araz'sharaz'shatel'sharaz
  = araz + araz * (arash) + atel * (arash * arash) + araz * (arash * arash * arash)
  = 1 + 1 * (2^1) + 0 * (2^2) + 1 * (2^3)
  = 1011 (base 2)
  = 11 (decimal)

  ararharaz
  = arar'haraz
  = arar + araz * (arah)
  = 4 + 1 * (6^1)
  = 14 (base 6)
  = 10 (decimal)
