Proposed Definition
- Percentage
- expresses a fraction of 100 with the digits to the left as the numerator
- Meaning of digits to the right is yet to be defined

Proposed Keywords
Usage Examples
- pa no no no ce'i du pa no
- "1000% is 10"
Notes
- ksion says "ce'i" is basically "pi'i vei fi'u cinono ve'o"
Issues
- CLL doesn't define "ce'i" in prose
- Doesn't regard digits to the right
cmavo: fi'u (PA3)
Proposed Definition
A digit representing both the fraction slash, when modifying other digits, and the golden ratio, when on its own.
When used between two digit strings m and n, it makes the entire number a fraction m/n. When used in front of a digit string m, it makes the entire number a fraction 1/m. When used after a digit string m, it makes the entire number string a fraction m/1.
When used on its own, it represents the golden ratio φ, a mathematical constant equal to half of the sum of one and the square root of five, or approximately 1.618033.

Proposed Keywords
- fraction bar
- golden ratio
Usage Examples
- fi'ure lo vovo gerku vi bajra
- "Half of the 44 dogs run here."
- li fi'uze du li cifi'uze pi'i fi'uci
- "1/7 is equal to 3/7 times 1/3."
- li fi'u minso namcu
- "The golden ratio is a famous number."
Notes
None.
Issues
None.
Proposed Definition of fi'u
- fi'u (PA3)
- fraction slash — digit/number: fraction slash; default "/n" => 1/n, "n/" => n/1, or "/" alone => golden ratio --
cmavo: ki'o (PA3)
Proposed Definition
- Thousands seperator
- partitions a decimal number into groups of 3 digits.
When there are less than 3 digits following a ki'o, replace the ki'o with enough {no} to have 3 digits in total.
Expansion formulae:
- Integral part (left of the decimal point)
- {A ki'o B} is A*1000 + B
- Fractional part (right of the decimal point)
- {pi A ki'o B} needs to be defined

Usage Examples
- pa ki'o recivo ki'o muxaze
- ((1*1000) + 234) * 1000 + 567 = 1234567
Notes
- Some cultures use a dot as the decimal point, and a comma or a space as the thousands seperator. Other cultures use the comma as the decimal point, and a dot or a space as the thousands seperator. {ki'o} is always the thousands seperator, and {pi} is always the decimal point (or the radix point in other number bases).
Issues
- CLL chapter 18, example 3.10 looks like an error: there are only 3 "pa" and 3 "one", yet 4 "1"
- Needs definition for usage in fractional part
- Needs definition for more than 3 following PA1s
- camxes and jbofihe accept "ki'o papapapa"
- kribacr proposes adapting "ki'o" for non-decimal bases, with integral formula "ve'o A ki'o B vei ju'u C" = A*C^3 + B
Proposed Definition of ma'u
- ma'u (PA3)
- positive number — digit/number: plus sign; positive number; default any positive --
Proposed Definition of ni'u
- ni'u (PA3)
- negative number — digit/number: minus sign; negative number); default any negative --
cmavo: pi (PA3)
Proposed Definition
- Radix point
- partitions a number into an integral part (to the left of the point) and fractional part (to the right of the point)
Proposed Tag

Proposed Keywords
- Radix point
- Decimal point (when used in a base-10 number)
Usage Examples
- li no pi mu
- 0.5
- li vai pi rei ju'u vai
- 0xF.E
Notes
- Some cultures use a dot as the decimal point, and a comma or a space as the thousands seperator. Other cultures use the comma as the decimal point, and a dot or a space as the thousands seperator. {ki'o} is always the thousands seperator, and {pi} is always the decimal point (or the radix point in other number bases).
Issues
None.
Proposed Definition of pi'e
- pi'e (PA3)
- digit separator — digit/number:separates digits for base >16, not current standard, or variable (e.g. time, date) --
Proposed Definition of ra'e
- ra'e (PA3)
- repeating decimal — digit/number: repeating digits (of a decimal) follow --
Notes
me'i and za'u, though officially in PA3, are defined under Inexact Numbers
