This puzzle is part of the Monthly Topic Challenge #4: Cross-*non*-words
I've already got two crosswords for the challenge.
Recently, the fraternities, the sororities and I worked together to make a third crossword in memory of their naming convention.
Solve each cryptic clue, then transliterate the solution words into another language. Fill in the transliterated words in the proper position in the grid. The letter in parentheses would describe my lucky number[citation needed].
The three "hidden" clues are to be solved with the help of the language's history.
Notes to the grid: The "order of magnitude" is omitted in the grid. The 2
on the second line is supposed to have a 9
overlapping it in the same cell, thus the digits from 1
to 9
would each appear exactly three times in the grid - once for "x100" group, once for "x101" group, and once for "x102" group.
The image version is not yet available.

Task 1: As you can guess...
The main task is to solve the crossword.
It is recommended that you use lowercase letters in the grid so that the crossword can be qualified for the challenge.
All diacritics, except the acute accent[citation needed], are ignored.
Task 2: (optional)
Try to make another crossword grid using these 27 words you wrote in my grid, so that if a blank version of your grid (without clue numbers) and a list of the 27 words are given, one can find a unique method to locate each word in your grid, similar to this.
Is it actually possible?
Hint 1:
The "order of magnitude" is related to the old numerals in the language.
