Editing Cyrillic numerals (section)

==General description==
The system is a quasi-decimal [[alphabetic numeral system]], equivalent to the [[Greek numerals|Ionian numeral system]] but written with the corresponding [[grapheme]]s of the [[Cyrillic script]]. The order is based on the original Greek alphabet rather than the standard Cyrillic alphabetical order.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.omniglot.com/writing/cyrillic.htm |title=Omniglot: Cyrillic Script |last=Ager |first=Simon |access-date=2016-12-29 }}</ref>

A separate letter is assigned to each unit (1, 2, ... 9), each multiple of ten (10, 20, ... 90), and each multiple of one hundred (100, 200, ... 900). To distinguish numbers from text, a [[titlo]] ({{Script|Cyrs|&nbsp; ҃ }}) is sometimes drawn over the numbers, or they are set apart with dots.<ref>{{citation |last=Gesang |first=Philipp |title=Typesetting Cyrillic Numerals with ConTEXt MkIV |page=3 |year=2013 |url=http://mirror.hmc.edu/ctan/macros/context/contrib/context-cyrillicnumbers/doc/context/third/cyrillicnumbers/cyrillicnumbers.pdf |access-date=2016-12-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161230155855/http://mirror.hmc.edu/ctan/macros/context/contrib/context-cyrillicnumbers/doc/context/third/cyrillicnumbers/cyrillicnumbers.pdf |archive-date=2016-12-30 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The numbers are written as pronounced in [[Church Slavonic language|Slavonic]],<ref name="Lunt2001">{{cite book|last=Lunt|first=Horace Gray |author-link=Horace Lunt |title=Old Church Slavonic Grammar|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7BXJgfIo_fYC&pg=PA16|edition=7th|year=2001|publisher=Walter de Gruyter|location=Berlin, Germany|isbn=978-3-11-016284-4|pages=16–18}}</ref> generally from the high value position to the low value position, with the exception of 11 through 19, which are written and pronounced with the ones unit before the tens; for example, ЗІ (17) is "семнадсять" (literally ''seven-on-ten'', cf. the [[English language|English]] ''seven-teen'').<ref name="Chrisomalis2010" />

Examples:
* [[File:Slavic-numerals-1706.svg|45px]] ({{Script/Slavonic|҂аѱ҃ѕ}}) – 1706
* [[Image:Cyrillic numerals-7118.svg|42px|҂зр︮и︯і]] ({{Script/Slavonic|҂зр︮и︯і}}) – 7118
*A long titlo may be used for long runs of numbers: {{Big|{{Script/Slavonic|҂з︮р︦н︦і︯}}}}.

To evaluate a Cyrillic number, the values of all the figures are added up: for example, ѰЗ is 700 + 7, making 707. If the number is greater than 999 (ЦЧѲ), the thousands sign (҂) is used to multiply the number's value: for example, ҂Ѕ is 6000, while ҂Л҂В is parsed as 30,000 + 2000, making 32,000. To produce larger numbers, a modifying sign is used to encircle the number being multiplied.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Gamanovich |first1=Alypy |title=Grammar of the Church Slavonic Language |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=5xxKAAAAYAAJ |editor-last=Shaw |editor-first=John |location=Jordanville, New York |publisher=Holy Trinity Monastery |year=2001 |isbn=978-0884650645 |access-date=2016-12-28 }}</ref> Two scales existed in such cases (similar to the [[long and short scales]]): one is 'Малый счёт' or Lesser Count, giving a new name and sign every order of magnitude, and the other is 'Великий счёт' or Greater Count, where every name and sign is the previous one squared, up until 10<sup>48</sup>- instead of going to 10<sup>96</sup>, it goes to 10<sup>49</sup>.<ref name="Kozlovsky2007">{{cite news |last=Козловский |first=Станислав |url=http://www.vokrugsveta.ru/telegraph/theory/251/ |title=У больших чисел громкие имена |language=ru |trans-title=Big Names of Large Numbers |work=Вокруг Света |location=Moscow |date=2007-02-25 |access-date=2017-01-02 }}</ref><ref name="KentLancour1979">{{cite book|editor1=A.
