Yes, you can change the number representation's radix punctually with=20
{ju'u} <http://jbovlaste.lojban.org/dict/ju%27u>, or use the=20
experimental {ju'ai} <http://jbovlaste.lojban.org/dict/ju%27ai> for=20
changing explicitly and globally the default radix for the following text.

{li re dau ju'u gai} means "the number represented by the digit string=20
=C2=AB2A=C2=BB encoded in base twelve notation", thus the same number as 34=
=20
expressed in base ten.
{li re vo ju'u bi} means "the number represented by the digit string=20
=C2=AB24=C2=BB encoded in base eight notation", thus the same number as 20=
=20
expressed in base ten.

If you use [radix]+ju'ai <http://jbovlaste.lojban.org/dict/ju%27ai>=20
(e.g. {gai ju'ai} at the beginning of your text to set explicitly the=20
default radix to twelve for the whole following text), you won't have to=20
add {ju'u gai} after your number expressions to explicit they're in base=20
twelve notation, as {ju'ai} would have make it the default=20
interpretation already.

So once you've established (either via {ju'u} or context) that you are
counting in hex, 1A is {pa dau}, simply concatenating the digits as in
base 10.

Thanks,
