The nifty think about writing Tolkien-based fic is that you can adopt his conceit of being a translator rather than writer, so this could be read as a translation into our terms of an entirely different notation system.
But it's possible that the Gondorians inherited an algebraic notation system from their forebears, the Numenoreans, who were an industrial power.
