Expert Opinions on 'daiin'

[JoJo_Jost]

@ Rene – if you then add your list, you have a possibly complex number system.

I am not sure which list you mean?

Essentially, 'r' is preferred without any 'i' and 'n' is preferred if there are one or more.
Since aiiin is so rare, perhaps 4 can also be written al. 
After all, l is how a 4 would be written at that time.

@ Rene: Oh, sorry, I understand now, the list was from Jorge_Stolfi, sorry... he quotes you, and than his list follows. Sorry, im quite new here in this forum. I still make many mistakes.... 

Considering the 4 as an l is an interesting thought. But on the one hand, it is also somewhat inconsistent to hide the first numbers in a .... n as i ii iii and then dont write "iv". On the other hand, if it is Latin and many abbreviations and ligatures are intended to further ‘obscure’ the meaning, then of course it makes perfect sense. 

@ Mark it's a nice idea, but ail is quite rare, 6 times, an the other Versions don't exist. But this was the result of Chat GPT und we know that this is not a serious source, it may be not be correc. In my research – looking at the numbers – I ended up limiting myself to aiin = ‘duo’ and aiinb = “duobus” and allowing ‘in pairs’ (botanical) as a variation – but I'm increasingly moving away from that too.
