”Oh so they have six fingers then, if they use dozimals instead of decimals?”
Well, maybe. I have considered it. But… you see I can do this even with five fingers? Actually this is an applied 4-base, where part of the fingers track ones, and part track ”tens” (=fours). I can count to eleven with one hand. And the numerical glyphs could even be a depiction of this. Maybe they have five fingers, but two of them are opposable and it’s more natural for them to view them as 2 + 3?
