___In the mean time we need to reference the skew table in post #38 & the Base Ten Katabatak Addition table in post #44. First, to the algebraic notion preceding each Katabatak class in the skew table. For class
1 the expression is 9n-8, class
2 is 9n-7, class
3 9n-6, etc.. In the expressions, n is the ordinal number from the class set; so the 3rd element of the class
1 is (9*3) -8 = 27 -8 = 19.
___In passing, I note that 9n+1 is equivalent to 9n-8, but requires the ordinal index to begin with 0 (zero) & that is precisely what we don't want.
___So, replace the list & table elements in post #44 with algebraic notaions & stir by class as follows.
______ K Class 1 ________/______ K Class 2 ____________/
1 + 9 = 1________________/_1 + 1 = 2_________________/
(9m-8) + (9n) = (9p-8)_____/_(9m-8) + (9n-8) = (9p-7)____/
9m+9n-8 = 9p-8___________/_9m+9n-16 = 9p-7_________/
9m+9n = 9p_______________/_9m+9n-9 = 9p___________/
