The Āryabhaṭa numeration is an alphasyllabic numeral system based on Sanskrit phonemes. It was introduced in the early 6th century in India by Āryabhaṭa, in the first chapter titled Gītika Padam of his Aryabhatiya. It attributes a numerical value to each syllable of the form consonant+vowel possible in Sanskrit phonology, from ka = 1 up to hau = 10^18.

#TIL On the etymology/origin of the word ‘titration’.
The word "titration" descends from the French word tiltre (1543), meaning the proportion of gold or silver in coins or in works of gold or silver; i.e., a measure of fineness or purity. Tiltre became titre,[4] which thus came to mean the "fineness of alloyed gold",[5] and then the "concentration of a substance in a given sample".[6] In 1828, the French chemist Gay-Lussac first used titre as a verb (titrer), meaning "to determine the concentration of a substance in a given sample".[7]
