Numbers Sit (6), Is (10) and Ek (100).

We long reflected before adopting these three terms instead of the more international ones six, dek and cent, which first naturally came to our mind. Our option was dictated by reasons of clearness and euphony.

These examples show that six often causes ugly alliterations; is and ek, brief and clear and beginning with a vowel, compound themselves much more harmoniously than dek and cent with other numbers preceding them. Neo numbers are those wanted by our age of radio and telephone.

An expert’s opinion :

Here is the opinion of Mr. F. J. Kriiger, Interlinguistics Counsellor of Amsterdam University’s Library, prominent polyglot, who has a wide knowledge of all major constructed languages, and also of a great number of natural, living or dead, languages :

“Never, in whichever language, have I met numbers that sound as clearly and as harmoniously as Neo numbers.”
