After I made Lacerti’s counting system base eight, I decided that I would stick to base ten for Shiv’Jan’s counting system. This was mostly for my own sanity.

There’s a bit of crossover with the Shiv’Jan words for six and eight and the Lacerti word for six and eight (Nosh and Os, respectively). I’m working on adding a few more loan words into each language, and while I don’t think Lacerti introduced the concept of six and eight into Shiv’Jan or vice verse, I think that a gradual incorporation of Lacerti numbers into Shiv’Jan would be a natural consequence of trade.

Additionally, the Lacerti word used for zero, Sonll, also means “deception” in Lacerti. I don’t think Lacerti naturally would’ve come up with a word for zero, so I think the Shiv’Jan word Sosh was incorporated into Lacerti and changed to Sonll, eventually evolving into all its aforementioned meanings.
