given that the 3 hares seem to currently lack a signification, I'd be up for squatting? Or would Paul prefer 3 fennecs? Should anyone wish to oppose us, as Bigwig said: "silflay hraka, u embleer rah"

a slightly more pragmatic story for shunya as better mousetrap: just as we now routinely have our calculations done for us in binary, but record results in decimal (in PDF invoices, say), ancient romans (among other cultures) would have someone do their calculations on a counting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counting_board board, but recorded (only the non-zero) results in roman numerals.

(these days we can spot the algebraists via a sibboleth: they start their papers and books with section/chapter 0)
