ROOT MEANINGS OF THE ARMENIAN CARDINAL NUMBERS

On a scale of 1:10 for example a drawing at a scale of 1:10 means that the object is 10 times smaller than in real life scale 1:1. You could also say, 1 unit in the drawing is equal to 10 units in real life.

NUMBER AS METAPHOR: Human beings structure time and space numerically, number references appear in many books including the bible. If numbers themselves are cultural artifacts, then we may think of them as metaphorical, since they translate experiences from one domain to another. In fact, Buckminster Fuller defines numbers as experiences (1975, p. 237). In my search for the ever-present metaphor, I started wondering about the ways that numbers are organized into systems'

The ancient Greeks thought of numbers as being concrete, definite magnitudes. European civilization defined numbers more abstractly, as a relation, a variable, or as a function. 

Magnitude, in space, in astronomy, is the measure of the brightness of a star or other celestial body. The brighter the object, the lower the number   as signed as a magnitude. In ancient times, stars were ranked in six magnitude classes, the first magnitude class containing the brightest stars.

The magnitude scale began in 129 B.C., when the ancient Greek astronomer Hipparchus classified the stars. He called the brightest stars "first magnitude," meaning "the brightest." He had six rankings in his classification system, meaning the faintest stars he could see were "sixth magnitude. Roman astronomer Claudius Ptolemy, whose star catalog listed stars from 1st magnitude (brightest) to 6th magnitude (dimmest). "The modern scale was mathematically defined in a way to closely match this historical system.

A logarithmic scale (or log scale) is a way of displaying numerical data over a very wide range of values in a compact way—typically the largest numbers in the data are hundreds or even thousands of times larger than the smallest numbers. Such a scale is nonlinear: the numbers 10 and 20, and 60 and 70, are not the same distance apart on a log scale. Rather, the numbers 10 and 100, and 60 and 600 are equally spaced. Thus moving a unit of distance along the scale means the number has been multiplied by 10 (or some other fixed factor). Often exponential growth curves are displayed on a log scale, otherwise they would increase too quickly to fit within a small graph. Another way to think about it is that the number of digits of the data grows at a constant rate. For example, the numbers 10, 100, 1000, and 10000 are equally spaced on a log scale, because their numbers of digits is going up by 1 each time: 2, 3, 4, and 5 digits. In this way, adding two digits multiplies the quantity measured on the log scale by a factor of 100.

The first and the best evidence we have today of the concept of zero is offered by Robert Kaplan, author of The Nothing That Is.

A Natural History of Zero, provides this answer: Zero is from the Sumerian culture in Mesopotamia, some 5,000 years ago. There we see a slanted double wedge inserted between cuneiform symbols for numbers, written positionally, to indicate the absence of a number in a place (as we would write 10 or 101, the '0' indicating no digit in the tens column).

The symbol changed over time, but a positional notation, zero was crucial, so it held its place in the Babylonian empire and it is thought from there to India, via the Greeks ( surprisingly in the Indian culture zero made a late and only occasional appearance. From the Romans we see no trace of it at all). Arab merchants it is thought brought the zero they found in India to the Western world, and after many adventures and much opposition, the symbol we use took hold and the concept flourished, where zero took on much more than a positional meaning and has played a crucial role in our mathematizing of the world.

The mathematical zero and the philosophical notion of nothingness are today related but aren't the same. Nothingness plays a central role very early on in Indian thought (there nothingness was called "sunya"), and we find speculation in virtually all cosmological myths about what some must have suggested preceded the world's creation. So we have in the Bible's book of Genesis (1:2): "And the earth was without form, and void."

Three in Armenian addopts the գ and the word գագաթ doubles the գ as in գգթ the meaning of the word a noun suggests a or the point at theTop of the summit, the head, the pinnacle.
