Hello people

This is Amde,
Have you notice that there is no a specific symbol
representing "zero" in Amharic numeric system? Yeap, the
Amharic/Ge'ez numeric system have some limitations that
prevents us from using it in today's technology. The full
description of other limitations are listed at my web site
at http://kahuna.sdsu.edu/`mitiku. I believe the existence
of zero symbol in Ge'ez/Amharic language will make the
language more powerful and flexible. I need your feedback
and comment if you have any question please send me an e-
mail at ma...@yebbo.com


Thank you,
Amde

Ethiopic zero has been created and included the ModEth program. Also check it
out in EthioWord and the free GeezEdit Amharic P font.
