Re: Motion 46 -- Right to left intervals
James Cloos provided a useful pointer:

When I entered "Pi" in the Search field, I got to the Arabic article on
Pi, which answered several questions; in particular Richard Fateman's
question. Pi is shown at the end of a sentence, where I supply xxx for
Arabic characters: .22/7 xx 3.14 xxxx xxxx ... xxxX
There is also a picture of a number line, with 1 2 3 ... increasing left
to right -- and a wheel is rolling left-to-right. So there are quite a
few left/right concepts that are the same in RTL scripts.
What surprised me however is that all numerals use the Latin form of Arabic
numerals, not the ones one sees on Arabic licence plates for example.
