Tangut numerals

There is an ordinary set of digits that is used for writing numbers within Tangut text (for example, chapter numbers and dates) in manuscripts and printed books, as well as for engraving on monumental inscriptions on stone.

Page numbers in printed books dating from the Western Xia period and the Yuan dynasty are often written using Chinese numerals.

There are two different words for "ten": 𗰗 *gha is the normal word, but 𗰭 *sha is sometimes used, especially for the number of days in dates, e.g. 𗰗𗼑𗰭𗾞 (gha lhi sha ny) "10th day of the 10th month".

Multiple-digit numbers are constructed using a similar method to that for Chinese and Japanese numerals.

Moreover, the characters for 4 and 7 are homophones in both the ritual and filiation series, which is implausible for a spoken language.
