==Digit Roots== *[http://z13.invisionfree.com/DozensOnline/index.php?showtopic=463&view=findpost&p=4133414 SDN] uses a set of <span style="color:blue;">digit roots</span> derived from classical Latin and Greek. *The roots for the digits <span style="color:blue;">one</span> through <span style="color:blue;">nine</span> are identical with those chosen by IUPAC for its (decimal) [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systematic_element_name Systematic Element Names]. *SDN extends these dozenally with roots for transdecimal digits <span style="color:blue;">ten</span> and <span style="color:blue;">eleven</span>. *The root <span style="color:blue;">dec</span> is the obvious choice for digit <span style="color:blue;">ten</span> *The root <span style="color:blue;">lev</span> is a coinage derived by contracting English <span style="color:red;">eleven</span> -- but it can also be derived from Latin! (See below.) *<span style="color:blue;">Digit roots</span> are concatenated to form <span style="color:blue;">numeral strings</span>. (See [http://z13.invisionfree.com/DozensOnline/index.php?showtopic=463&view=findpost&p=4133562 <span style="color:blue;">Numeral Strings</span>].) *SDN <span style="color:green;">multiplier prefixes</span> are designed to be close approximations of the Latin or Greek <span style="color:red;">combining forms</span> from which the<span style="color:blue;">digit roots</span> themselves are derived. The intent is to mimic forms already in current use by scientists and lay people, since those forms act as simple numeric multipliers. (See [http://z13.invisionfree.com/DozensOnline/index.php?showtopic=463&view=findpost&p=4133573 <span style="color:green;">Multiplier Prefixes</span>].) *SDN <span style="color:purple;">power prefixes</span>, on the other hand, are designed to be clearly distinct from those pre-existing <span style="color:red;">combining forms</span>, yet still recognizably derivative from them, and at least plausible as Latinate word-forms. (See [http://z13.invisionfree.com/DozensOnline/index.php?showtopic=463&view=findpost&p=4133591 <span style="color:purple;">Power Prefixes</span>].) <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:19px;">The following table shows etymological derivations for the </span><span style="font-family:Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:19px;color:blue;">digit roots</span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:19px;">:</span> {| border="0" !
