Tyra Tarkush: Numerology
Numerology is a critical part of the culture of Buhukiea. Sentiments on numerology across each being is generally consistent—this is because the basis for numerology is rooted in the presentation of numbers themselves in Tyra Tarkush.
Tyra Tarkush Character Archtypes and the Numbers
Tyra Tarkush has nine character archtypes that govern the sounds of Tyra Tarkush and that have meaning attached to them. For example: The Monarch character is related to the 'm' sounds, specifically 'mu', and it has the qualities of nobility, respect, and order.
These archtypes of Tyra Tarkush related directly with the number symbols. Each Tyra Tarkush number symbol, excluding zero and three, reflects one of the nine Tyra Tarkush character types. The numbers are generally directly related to the meanings of the character of Tyra Tarkush they belong to.
Visually, each character, excluding zero and three, has a part of one of the core characters in its symbol. That and the sounds defining them are the connection between them—that is how Tyra Tarkush Numerology came about.
Zero and Three
However, in this, as mentioned, there are two exclusions to this pattern. Zero and three. Zero has no relation to the archtypes. Its symbol is merely the number decoration repeated top and bottom—it has no special value to it besides representing the number of nothing. It does not directly correlate with the Tyra Tarkush way of portraying true nothing—this is a lesser way of it.
As for three—if the pattern of matching archtype to character held for each number, three would have gone to The Grasp (d/j/g sounds, power aspiration). However, three is a divine number related to the Trioré. Three in Tyra Tarkush could not be related to anything but the Trioré. And so it is related to it and that is where three's meaning comes from.
The Meanings of the Numbers
And so the general meanings of the numbers and their relations are as follows:
- Tyra (One - The Sun): Fateful/lonely. The Sun is powerful and connected to 'Ra'. The Fate of it is direct and blazing—but there is independence in that, thus loneliness.
- Tykha (Two - The Omen): Ominous. The sounds related to The Omen (k, c) are generally used in 'negative' ways, but the character itself is more portending than of truly a negative nature.
- Tyore (Three - Triore): Holy. Divine. Three is the strongest number.
- Tyfey (Four - The Wonder): Fateful/mysterious/importance. The Wonder is more of an abstract, awe-inspiring number. Four has rich nuances and meaning to it that is debated upon—but generally it is considered fateful in a grander way than the Sun (a more direct fateful).
- Tyma (Five - The Monarch): Nobility, order. The Monarch and Five confer a sense of structure and order. The Monarch's sound of 'mu' is used to mean the 'greatest' of something, the 'highest', so Five also implies nobility of a sense.
- Typa (Six - The Break): Holy/ominious. Wildcard. 3 x 2 = Six. Six is directly tied to three and two. Three is holy, whereas two is ominous. The Break describes this by being interpreted as the imperfections of creation and positive entropy—however, it can be read as negative in that same sense. Very contextually based.
- Tyshah (Seven - The Tree): Knowledge, wisdom. Seven is generally perceived as a magical/mystical number in general and the the Tree adds to it.
- Tyqua (Eight - The Pillar): Strength and base prosperity. 4 x 2 = 8. Eight is based on four and two, but it transcends to be a symbol of direct strength.
- Tyeir (Nine - The Gaze): Nine, being 3 x 3, would generally be perceived as a 'stronger' version of three, but not so. Three is closer to the truth. Nine is further away from that. It is holy, but more ethereally so—aloof may be the best way to describe it. Nine is not sought out as a number, but it is respected for how it connects with Tyore.
And so those are the meanings.
Of course, with all things, context plays a great part in determining the meanings of the numbers: the proximity of them to another and in what way they are being used. The sounds of Tyra Tarkush working together create the language and the meaning is ascribed to them but in conversation their present value must be ascertained. That is the way of Numerology.

Tyra Tarkush is the language of the creators/my world. It has its own grammar, a large ever-growing lexicon of words, and its own script.
