Happy Halloween!

Decided to use base 4 for my conlang. I struggle with math and numbers, and it was an ordeal making several base 10 systems that were, to be honest, cheap knock-offs of existing base 10 systems. So I tried to assign names to each number, and my stupid brain kept dragging me to base 10 and I'd destroy an hours' work. Over and over again. Eventually the pattern jumped out at me and I finally grasped it. I'm mad at myself how long, and how much effort, it took me to understand something so simple. Grr.
