Their numbers are reckoned thus : 



Katka One. 



Neeka Two. 



Toomka Three. 



Leeka Four. 



Bungaka Five. 



Rooka Six. 



Serecka Seven. 



Bictka Eight. 



Koaka Nine. 



Soomka Ten. 



By combining the first syllable of soo)?ika with every in-» 

 tcrmediate number^ as soomkatka, soomneka, soomtoomkay 

 and so on, they reckon to twenty, which is rohoka. The 

 same combination now takes place with rohoka ^ the final 

 syllable ka ht\i.c struck oft'; it goes on rohokatka, rolo- 

 iieeka, &c., to thirty, which is expressed by soovitoomka^ 

 or three tens. Forty is soonleeka, or four tens ; fifty soom^ 

 rungaka, or five tens j and so on to a hundred, which is 

 expressed by rezaka. From rezaka the final syllable ka 

 being struck off, a similar combination, as above, takes 

 place with nceka, toomka, &c., to one ihousand, calle4 

 saioigka. The preceding rule of striking off the final ka ia 

 observed with suungka ; and thus they go on to hundreds 

 of thousands, beyond which their ideas of numbers do not 

 extend, as far as could be understood, from their having no 

 terms to express them.
