Every fifth notch was double cut i.e. ⋀, ⋁, ⋋, ⋌, etc.), and every tenth was cross cut (X), IIIIΛIIIIXIIIIΛIIIIXII..., much like European tally marks today.
Setiap torehan kelipatan lima dipotong ganda, misalnya ⋀, ⋁, ⋋, ⋌, dst., dan setiap kelipatan sepuluh dipotong silang (X), (IIIIΛIIIIXIIIIΛIIIIXII...), lebih seperti tanda talli Eropa saat ini.
