Letter numerals

File:Nepalese letter-numerals and figure-numerals.jpg

Nepalese manuscripts used a system of letters to stand for numbers, although the exact correspondence between letter and number value changed over time. In 1883, Cecil Bendall published a table of Nepalese letter numerals based on different dated Buddhist manuscripts from Cambridge University Library.
