Numbers

[anheropl0x]

How would you write the big numbers in Gothic, in the format of ·X·? But I mean large numbers that there are no characters for, for example the year 2009, would you write ·booþ(2009)· or ·®®sþ(900+900+200+9=2009)·? So basically, do you just use the closest base numbers or do you add it all up? Another example could be 2010, ·boi(2010)·, or ·®®si(900+900+200+10=2010)·. 2015 = ·boie((i+e=15)2015)· or ·®®sie(900+900+200+10+5=2015)·?

Obviously they would be written out in words as twos þusundjos jah niun, twos þusundjos jah taihun, and twos þusundjos jah fimftaihun.

Or could I be way off and it would be "·b· þusundjos jah ·þ/i/ie·"?

Hopefully this isn't confusing and there's a simple answer to this: Yes to one or more of these or no to all of them.
