Septemberdale asked: Idrisah, how, if at all, do Avians count on their hands? I heard it's pretty similar to binary.
Idrisah: Avians use lots of different body-counting methods.The two most common in Tiiliitian culture are knuckle counting and ternary. Knuckle counting is pretty much the same as it is for humans— counting the bones of each finger. Avians do this by pointing to each finger bone with the opposite finger. Ternary finger counting goes up to 8 on one hand (the typical number base for avians) but doesn't use binary, as the name implies. Instead of two digit morphemes there are three: lowered, raised, and crooked. Which means, essentially, this system uses base 3 to count in base 8 on a hand with two digits. Isn't that delightful?
