The single-digit symbol for 25 was used for special occasions and shorthand, much like we use the Roman numeral "X" for ten. Typically, the D'ni would use <dni>10</dni> to write 25. There is also a "wrapped zero" character (<dni>=</dni>&nbsp;) used for cyclic sequences, such as clock faces, which would count from 0 through 24 and then wrap back to zero, and an "infinity" symbol (<dni>+</dni>&nbsp;).

The place values above can be directly compared to the words used in English to indicate our place values. For instance, 100 is "one hundred." Similarly, in D'ni, "''fahsee''" (<dni>fasE</dni>) means "one twenty-five." To indicate larger sums within that place value (such as, for example, fifty), you would say "''breesee''" (<dni>brEsE</dni>), or "two twenty-fives."

When reading long numbers, you read them left to right in a string. For example, 233 (<dni>98</dni>) would be spoken as "''vahgahtorsee vahgahsen''" (<dni>vagatorsE vagasen</dni>), or "nine twenty-five, eight," just as we say "two hundred thirty-three" in English.
