Learn to Write and Count in Zoggish with Dr Zargle!

Not again...
   

Lesson 1: The Zoggish alphabet:

Hello! Dr Zargle speaking! Now. The zoggish alphabet is almost EXACTLY like the Earth alphabet,except for...

Here is the ZOG alphabet:

Pay attention!!

A B Cq D E F G H I J L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

D'you notice a difference?

Yes,you're right. In the Zog alphabet,C becomes Cq, and the K is missing.

This is why:

In every word in Zog,apart from 1 letter words,you put in Cq.

But if there would be a C normally in a word,you put in Cq.

EXAMPLE: Cqocqa Cqola (Earth: COCA COLA !!! )
No matter how many Cs there are,you always put a q next to a C,but... YOU DON'T PRONOUNCE IT!!!!!!!!!

Now the K:

In BLACKIE,we take the K out and replace it with a Q. Ck becomes Cq!

BLACQIE!!!

But...

If you have a word like CAKE...IT'S the SAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In every word on Zog,if there normally should be a K, whether it's Cqacqe or Blacqie (CAKE or BLACKIE) K is replaced by Cq!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOW PROCEED TO LESSON 2 TO LEARN ABOUT ZOG NUMBERS!!!!!!!!!!!

   

Lesson 2: Zog Numbers:

Hello! Dr Zargle speaking! Now. We are going to learn about numbers...

Zog people have nine tentacles.

But they don't call it NINE

You count like this:
One, two three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, TEN
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
 
Zog people count like this:
One, two three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, TEN  
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10  

D'you notice a difference?

The Zog's DON'T HAVE THE NUMBER 9.

When they count they go 7,8,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,20 . . . . .

When they get to 88 the next number is 100!!!!!!!

In fact all over the universe, everybody

No matter how many fingers, arms, legs, pseudopodae, palps, claws, suckers, feelers or tentacles they have ALWAYS call that number

TEN

10

That's why they call them TENtacles, I suppose . . . . .

EXERCISE 3
