Quenya/Duodecimal Numerals

Quenya Duodecimal System Note: Not attested, theoretical construction. This is a theorised Quenya duodecimal system based on the knowledge that the Eldar had originally used this system before the arrival of men in Middle-Earth, and then adopted the decimal system from them. Most of what we know on Tolkien's Quenya numerals are characteristically decimal in construction, and not much provided into duodecimal numbers. Based on what is known is a re-constructed table of Quenya duodecimal numbers that will be subject to future revisions in accordance to any new attested information that may come, or more appropriate examples can be made.
