 Umm... we're not speaking about the same issue. :)
My question was about basic names for digits, from {no} to {vai}: why do we=
=20
have exactly 16 of them?
I understand the usefulness of hexa digits, but for that reason we could=20
also use a hundred or even more basic numbers, as those cover 16 as well. S=
o=20
what's the point (of 16)?
