Hilanan
The Hylian number and mathematical system
is exactly the same as the Arabic numeral system. It uses base-10 numerals,
where each successive numeral increases in value by a power of ten (in
other words, they write and use numbers the same way we do).
However, the way numbers are written out
in words and how they are pronounced is very different from our system.
There are some similarities, and they become easy to understand once you've
learned them.

Numbers greater than one thousand are slightly
more complicated. For numbers greater than one thousand and less than one
million, you must use the special conjunction do before the thousands
number (except when it is only one thousand). Here is a formula for saying
the number: thousands number (hundreds+tens+ones+do+male) + hundreds
+ tens + ones.

Note that Hylian places the equivalent
of a period between the thousands column and the hundreds column. Essentially,
Hylian places a period whenever we would use a comma.
