Numbers
Numbers: ogo = n. number, v. to count om = zero, nothing , none ong = one , single to = two mo = three oko = four do = five no = six oq = seven tong = eight noq = nine man = ten tan = hundred ngan = thousand To form ordinals place the particle nu after the number. To form multiples the suffix -a is added, with seven and nine being irregular, i.e. o'aq seven-times, and no'aq nine-times. Fractions are form by using the adposition aj meaning of/from. ong aj to = half (lit: one of two) oko aj do = four fifths Higher numbers are constructed as follows: man ong = eleven man to = twelve man mo = thirteen to man = twenty to man oko = twenty-four tan to man oko = one hundred twenty-four mo tan mo to = 332 oko man do ngan no oq tong = 45,678 Other helpful words: aja = all / every toa = twice / double ya`aj = many / much / a lot daya = few / a little / a bit m`hu = less / fewer / v. to subtract m`ha = more / v. to add anha = some
Higher numbers are constructed as follows:
