The Georgian numerals from 30 to 99 are constructed using a base-20 system,[1][2][3] similar to the scheme used in Basque, French for numbers 80 through 99,[4] or the notion of the score in English.
The symbols for numbers in modern Georgian texts are the same Arabic numerals used in English, except that the comma is used as the decimal separator, and digits in large numbers are divided into groups of three using spaces[5] or periods (full stops).
[6] The Georgian cardinal numerals up to ten are primitives, as are the words for 20 and 100, and also "million", "billion", etc.
Other cardinal numbers are formed from these primitives via a mixture of decimal (base-10) and vigesimal (base-20) structural principles.
Except for rva (8) and tskhra (9), these words are all consonant-final stems and may lose the final i in certain situations.
