The base of a number string should be base-ten, unless:
* explicitly specified by ju'u, AND/OR
* the string contains hexadecimal digits, in which case it is defaults to hexadecimal, AND/OR
* overridden by context

It should not be necessary to state this in the cmavo definitions here, but rather in the definition for ju'u.

I assume that it is unnecessary to formally define the mechanism of big-endian positional notation. At any rate, I am unable to do so myself.

!Usage for decimal digits
''cacra li revo .a li pare''%%%
It lasts for 24 or 12 hours.

''mi tatpi .i li paci vi tcika''%%%
I'm tired. It's 13 o'clock here.

''li paze pi'e ci''%%%
17:03

!Usage for hexadecimal digits
''li dau re ci vai vai vai vai vai''%%%
A23FFFFF

!Interactions with other sections
The sections with ju'u should state that digits are in base-ten, unless they contain at least one hexadecimal digit, or they are explicitly specified by ju'u, or the base is overriden by context.

!Impact
None intended.
