If this primary base was to dozenal, here is how it should affect other bases.
Base Names:
We name almost every base, yet these names are decimal based.We have to have a primary base to name other bases, or else nobody will know what we are talking about.
So, If we were switch to dozenal, we would have to change our base names.
Systematic dozenal nomenclature DOES have a system for naming bases, but I personally think we should use a more traditional scheme.
Here are bases 2 to 38 in decimal and dozenal based names:
Base (decimal) | Decimal Name | Dozenal name |
2 | Binary | Binary |
3 | Ternary | Ternary |
4 | Quaternary | Quaternary |
5 | Quinary | Quinary |
6 | Senary | Senary |
7 | Septenary | Septenary |
8 | Octal | Octal |
9 | Nonary | Nonary |

11 | Undecimal | Levinary |
