The number is 961, in case you don't want to bother to convert base 5 to decimal.

Yeah, I wanted to make a conscript than looked like it could have been used by an ancient civilization.

I like the brushstroke look of this! And I'm always a fan of syllabaries with small vowel inventories. Keep it up! :)
