Loroi Basena Sonni Sorimi(Trade Writing Assistant)

Post by Siber »

I thought I'd made a thread for this, but I don't see it, so I'm making a thread for this now, since I updated it today.

I've made a webpage with a handful of widgets that make creating authentic in-universe writing a little easier. It has three functions, one of which I added today. One flips input text to the Loroi writing order and displays it in trade font. The second converts integers to the goofy numeral system they use, which is hard to wrap one's mind around or check for correctness without the help. Third, and newly added is time conversion. If you want to know exactly how long 16000 solons is, or you are comfortable assuming 1 solon:1 second but can't convert from 16 kiloseconds to a more relatable set of units, it's got you covered. (4hr51min12sec incidentally) If you want to know how many solon a day is, it can also help you. (79120. Or count like a Loroi, Image).

If someone can point me to a definition on the length of a tozon, I'll add that in too.

Found this post about Measures of Time and Other Metrics. Nistil tozon is ~0,7 Earth year.
