Generate Number Ranges
typescript
import { GeezNumberService } from 'geezget';
const result = GeezNumberService.generateRange(10, 15);
console.log(result);
/*
[
{ number: 10, symbol: '፲', name: 'አስር' },

*/Convert Single Numbers
typescript
import { GeezNumberService } from 'geezget';
// To Geʽez numeral
console.log(GeezNumberService.toGeezSymbol(10000)); // "፩፼" or '፼' if your implementation simplifies 10000
// To Amharic words
console.log(GeezNumberService.toAmharicName(10000)); // "አንድ እልፍ"

10,000 (፼) is the highest single unit
Multiplicative system (100 = ፩ × ፻)
Used in Ethiopian Orthodox churches, historical documents, and calendar systems
Limitations
Does not support fractions/decimal numbers
Negative numbers return empty strings
