I think they just mean base 12. So "10" isn't ten, it's 1 * 12^1^ + 0 * 12^0^; xyz is x * 12^2^ + y * 12^1^ + z * 12^0^.
Like sixteen in hex is 10 (commonly written 0x10, to differentiate it from decimal 10)
Edit: oof, my client is trying to be clever with the mathematical writing and bungling it, I'll try to fix... Hmm, hope that makes it better not worse
Exactly. I am trying to describe a duodecimal number system without using a decimal number system. "Ten" is a single-digit number. "Eleven" is a single digit number. "10" is pronounced "Twelve".
