Letters and Numbers



Yurgenschmidt seems to use its own set of letters and numbers. The alphabet consists of 35 different letters while there seem to be ten different digits. The letters and numbers show certain resemblances with Romanised letters and numbers.

There are 26 letters out of the total 35 letters that seem to match the English alphabet.

There are nine special letters that exist in this letter system but not in the English alphabet.

These letters represent the writing system in the world Myne lives in. They are used throughout the whole series. Examples: In the world Myne got reincarnated into only few commoners know how to read or write, which results into a high illerate rate. Myne desires to learn the alphabet so much, that she managed to get her hands on a used stone slate by Otto. She then got him to teach her the alphabet. This is very useful for Myne when it comes to signing contracts, writing supply orders and when writing books. There are notables similarities between the letters of Myne's world and our real world counterpart such as:
 * Myne is spelled: / M,a,i,n
 * Ferdinand is spelled: / F,e,r,d,i,n,a,n,d
 * Lutz is spelled: / L,u,t,z
 * Spoiler: Rozemyne is spelled: / R,o,s,e,m,a,i,n
 * The A is reversed: A /
 * The B has a bump to the front: B /

Myne first discovers numbers when she visits the market with Effa. There she notices the written wooden boards with numbers showing the price of the product. Eagerly she asks Effa more about the numbers and learns that the world operates similarly on a base 10 number system. Myne was also very good at doing mathematics with the numbers of Ehrenfest and without calculators which intrigues Otto and Mark. She also uses her skills when helping with Ferdinand's works at the temple. Just like letters, there are notables similarities with the numbers of this world and their real world counterpart such as:
 * The "0"(s) are the same: 0 /
 * The number 6 and 9 being the same symbol, but reversed: 6, 9 / ,
