By The Numbers 6: Millions

So now we're at the number forming element for millions:-

'uy' million

Here are the numbers for numbers in the thousands from 10,000 to 90,000.

wa''uy'	1,000,000
cha''uy'	2,000,000
wej'uy'	3,000,000
loS'uy'	4,000,000

Next: decimals.

By The Numbers 5: Hundreds and Thousands

Having previously looked at the number-forming elements for tens (maH), hundreds (vatlh), thousands (SaD and SanID) and tens of thousands (netlh), now it's time to look at the number-forming element for hundreds of thousands:-

bIp hundred thousand

Here are the numbers for numbers in the hundred thousands from 100,000 to 900,000.

wa'bIp	100,000
cha'bIp	200,000
wejbIp	300,000
loSbIp	400,000
vaghbIp	500,000
javbIp	600,000
SochbIp	700,000
chorghbIp	800,000
HutbIp	900,000

Handling Big Numbers

At this stage, it might be quicker for you to recite the digits of each number rather than have to remember "Is vatlh the numbers-forming element, or is it netlh?"

Next time you have a number such as 832,647 it might be quicker for you to recite the digits - chorgh wej cha' jav loS Soch - rather than chorghbIp wejnetlh cha'SaD javvatlh loSmaH Soch - as long as you remember that, in reciting the digits, you have to include each zero - 802,701 is pronounced chorgh pagh cha' Soch pagh wa'.

Of course, this is how you read out telephone numbers. Telephone is ghogh HablI', and telephone number ghogh HablI' mI'.

And so to the big numbers.

wa'bIp wa'	100,001
wa'bIp wa'netlh chorghvatlh chorghmaH Hut	110,889
wa'bIp cha'netlh wejSanID loSvatlh vaghmaH jav	123,456

Next: millions.

By The Numbers 4: Tens of Thousands

Having previously looked at the number-forming elements for tens (maH), hundreds (vatlh) and thousands (SaD and SanID) now it's time to look at the number-forming element for tens of thousands:-

netlh ten thousand

Here are the numbers for numbers in the thousands from 10,000 to 90,000.

wa'netlh	10,000
cha'netlh	20,000
wejnetlh	30,000
loSnetlh	40,000
vaghnetlh	50,000
javnetlh	60,000
Sochnetlh	70,000
chorghnetlh	80,000
Hutnetlh	90,000

Big Numbers

The numbers are getting very big at this point. The bigger the numbers, the greater the challenge - and Klingons love challenges.

wa'netlh wa'	10,001
wa'netlh cha'vatlh wa'	10,201
wa'netlh cha'SaD wejvatlh loSmaH vagh	12,345

chorghnetlh wa'SaD	81,000
Hutnetlh Hutvatlh Hut	90,909
Hutnetlh HutSaD Hutvatlh HutmaH Hut	99,999

Prisoner #83345

Numbers can be used in another way: for numbering, as a designation, such as Corridor 3, Room 101, Prisoner 83345. When using a number for counting, it comes before the noun; but when using a number as a designation, the number goes after the noun.

jav qama'	six prisoners
qama' jav	Prisoner Number 6

When reciting the numbers of a designated object or person, you don't use the number-forming elements: just read out the digits, remembering to read out each pagh zero as well. Also note the placement of the Type 5 noun suffixes -Daq and -vo':-

qama' chorgh wej wej loS vagh, yIQam!	Prisoner 83345, stand up!
chobDaq wej jIHtaH	I am in Corridor 3
pa'Daq wa' pagh wa' qama' vIngeHta'	I have sent the prisoner to Room 101
DaHjaj tuQDoq loS lo' pagh	Mind-Sifter Four is available today
qen pa'vo' loS yIt	He walked out of Room Four a short time ago
gharI' Soch 'Iv jay'	Who the hell is Gary Seven?

Next: hundred thousands.
