But, but, but...
A numeral is just the symbol for the idea of a number. We could as
well use letters. If you assign 1 to a, the first letter
of the alphabet, and so on, g + h = m.
The Romans used letters for numbers, and I believe that Hebrew numbers
are just letters, too. I use a, b, c, d, e, and f for 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and
15 all the time.
What's the difference?
I think I've just been bitten by Die Flabberghast.
