noktas

Noun

nokta (plural noktas)

1. The Eastern Arabic numeral representing the number zero: ٠.
   • The formation of the successive terms may be more clearly shown by omitting the zeros altogether, or by supplying their places with noktas, as in the margin, where it is seen that, while the root descends by one step at a time, the square descends two steps in the scale.1857, Edward Sang, The Higher Arithmetic: Being a Sequel to Elementary Arithmetic, page 61
