This page is a placeholder. It exists so that the structure does; the

it is called finished.
Tibetan writes numbers in its own ten digits, ༠ to ༩, in decimal place value, and counts them with number words that a learner meets in every game on this site. The astrologers did their arithmetic on a board of fine sand, writing with a stylus and smoothing the sand for the next step, faster than paper. The pages here will teach the digits and the number words, and show the sand board at work.
