Idea for Assyrian Numerals!

[mrzurnaci]

Rather than using the Syriac alphabet WITH dots, lines, and special symbols to do numbers.

Why not form a decimal system using Mandaic-Aramaic letters?

Why using other letters ?
We have our own letters, we could just adapt it to a base 10.
Where did you see that we use dots, lines etc to do numbers ?
Our current system is this no ? there is no lines or dots...

Yes BUT we'd have to make a system/symbol that lets a reader know "hey, this letter is being used as a number, not as a letter"
I figured it'd be better to use Mandaic since Mandaic is part of the overall Aramaic family but is visually different enough for a Mesopotamian-Assyrian to distinguish from the Eastern/Western/Estrangela letters.

Look below at the Mandaic Alaph-Bet

They call it the "Abaga" and they don't call it Alaph, Beth, so on.

EDIT: ALSO, we need a letter/glyph and name for Zero, sSeefar/sSeepar is from Arabic.

What about "Reyqa" for Zero? spelled " ????" or , it means empty, void in Aramaic.
