The Iñupiaq language has a vigesimal (base-20) numeral system, with words for numerals up to 2012 (a bit over 4 quadrillion ). Numerals are built from a small number of root words and a number of compounding suffixes. The following list are the various numerals of the language, omitting only the higher derivatives ending in the suffix -utaiḷaq [1] Iñupiaq language#Numerals .) They are transcribed both in the vigesimal Kaktovik digits that were designed for Iñupiaq and in the decimal Hindu-Arabic digits . Apart from the subtractive suffix -utaiḷaq itchaksrat
